Fun and Focused Leash Walking Workshop

This is a 3-hour workshop covering the fundamentals of the 4 most common problems that even smart dog owners encounter, keeping them exhausted, frustrated and too embarrassed to walk their dogs.

Are you experiencing these common problems?

Being pulled into the dog park, stores, daycare, the car, out the door
Personal injuries caused by the strain and stress of constant pulling
Feeling embarrassed and frustrated when out walking, yelling at your dog to “slow down,” “wait,” and “STOP PULLING”
Spending hundreds of dollars on harnesses and collars, with little or no difference in slowing down your dog
Your dog ignoring you completely

I used to experience all of these issues and problems, and now want you to benefit from the information I have.

In this workshop, I will be explaining, demonstrating, and guiding you along a journey to Fun and Focused Loose-Leash Walking.

We will explore:

Engagement – What is engagement, and how to get your dog to pay attention to you.
Training Techniques that will have your dog mastering the loose leash.
Equipment – What type of equipment to use and how to make sure it fits.
High Value Treats – When and how to use treats to get the results you need to build a better relationship with your dog.
Walking multiple dogs at a time.

I hope you see you all there to learn how to have engaging FUN walks with your dog!

This workshop will be offered in the spring once the snow melts, summer, and fall.

Class size is limited to 6 so contact me to book
