Loose Leash Walking

This Loose Leash Walking course is perfect to focus on the skill of teaching your dog not to pull on leash. Teaching your dog leash manners so both you and your dog can both enjoy a walk is one of the best and most important skills you can teach your dog.

Imagine a dog that knows what to do when on a leash and is reliably behaved in all environments. They don’t jump on strangers, they don’t drag you towards distractions and they are responsive to gentle leash pressure. The simple joy of taking your dog on a walk without the stress of them dragging you from distraction to distraction brings out the most fulfilling aspects of owning a dog.

In this video series we show you what equipment to use, the stages involved in teaching your dog not to pull, the complications needed to be considered when teaching this skill and a range of dog training techniques used to teach the skill of not pulling on leash.

In this video series we cover:

• How to teach your dog not to pull on the leash
• Equipment to use

This course is demanding and part of the process is becoming comfortable with sessions that don’t go perfectly. However, with our guidance you will have clear, step-by-step instruction to help you overcome the various difficulties in teaching your dog not to pull on lead.

This skill combined with a reliable recall, heeling and engagement form the basis of life skills you and your dog will need to live together harmoniously.
