Loose Leash Walking

Loose Leash Walking I

This class is for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Loose Leash Walking. In this class we are starting from the basics of the Loose Leash Walking without distractions and with mild distraction. Class is held indoors. This class gives both Owner and dog the knowledge of how to work on both ends of the leash as a team. As it’s not about just what to do when your dog pulls, but how to stay connected and teach the “relationship based” walk. We also cover the hardware and aids that can be used for leash walking.

Loose Leash Walking II

This class takes Loose Leash Walking to the next level by adding some distractions such as turns, slalom walks, passing people and dogs. Classes start indoors and then move outdoors (to increase distraction). Prerequisite: Successful completion of Loose Leash Walking I.

Please bring to class your pup in a collar and/or harness with a 4 ft – 8 ft standard leash (no retractable leashes permitted). Please be sure to feed your pup at least 2 – 3 hours before class and bring a LOT of TASTY SOFT treats, such as cheese, cooked chicken, or any soft flavored chicken, liver, or beef (NO milk bones or biscuits). The same treats you use at home may not work in a high distractive class environment. Please bring along your pup’s water bowl and a bone or Kong to keep your pup busy to avoid barking if indicated for your pup.
