Leash Walking Skills

Dogs and humans enjoy walks in two completely different manners.  Humans tend to  walk in a straight line at a steady pace and never stop to smell the flowers, the trees, the curb, or anything else fun; While dogs love to stop, sniff, run up ahead, follow their nose, stop to say hello to friends or take a break to enjoy a delicious stick.  Naturally, this can cause conflict between the two species and can leave us both feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with our walk.

Walking nicely on a leash is not about the collar, the harness, or the leash that you use, it is about the bond and communication you have with your dog.  This course will teach you how to communicate with your dog,  how to walk past distractions, how to reward your dog for walking past distractions and how to enjoy your walk again.
