Leash Manners Program
Walks That Are Enjoyable—for You and Your Dog
​
If walks with your dog feel more like a tug-of-war than a relaxing outing, you’re not alone. Pulling, lunging, and constant distractions are common challenges that can make leash time stressful. Our Leash Manners Training Program is designed to transform your walks into calm, enjoyable experiences where your dog learns to stay focused and walk politely by your side.
What You and Your Dog Will learn
-
Loose-Leash Walking: Teaching your dog not to pull or drag you down the street.
​
-
Focus and Engagement: Helping your dog pay attention to you instead of every squirrel or passerby.
​
-
Impulse Control: Reducing lunging, barking, and overstimulation during walks.
​
-
Proper Walking Etiquette: Building consistency so your dog knows what’s expected in different environments.
How the Program Works
Our step-by-step approach sets both you and your dog up for success:
​
-
Assessment & Goal Setting: We’ll start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your dog’s habits and your specific challenges.
-
Customized Training Sessions: Practical, hands-on lessons designed to meet your dog where they’re at.
-
Owner Coaching: Because consistency at home is key, we’ll show you simple techniques to reinforce good leash manners every day.
-
Progress Tracking: We’ll celebrate small wins along the way and adjust the program as needed.
