Loose-leash walking program

Includes: 3 Private In-Home sessions-one session per week, and the Treat Pouch Kit, helpful handouts for canine education and step-by-step homework instruction, and Q&A with your trainer via messenger between sessions if needed.

*Best For: Those who only need help with teaching their dog how to walk politely on leash.

*Focus: This program is designed to give you a rock-solid foundation for loose-leash walking success. Your daily practice and consistency will lock in that success for a lifetime of peaceful walks with your best buddy!

What you will learn:

✅ Hand Targeting: Get instant focus without leash tugging, easily guide your dog into your preferred walking position, and safely redirect their attention past distractions.

✅ Body Language: Read subtle signals to guide your dog before they pull.

✅ Pattern Games & Fluid Handling: Navigate distractions easily by learning to guide your dog smoothly through changes in direction.

✅ Communication Skills: Learn hand signals and verbal cues to keep training fun for everyone and help your dog stay engaged throughout the walk!

⚠️Important Success Factors:

  • Daily Commitment: Success requires 5 to 7 minutes of daily practice between our sessions to lock in the behaviors. I will be available via messenger to answer questions that may arise during your independent practice times, but you are responsible for committing to this learning process with your dog.

  • Behavioral Needs: Severe reactivity, anxiety, or aggression may require additional specialized sessions beyond this foundational package.

  • Individual Pace: All dogs, especially puppies and adolescent dogs, may progress at different rates based on their age and attention span.
