Leash Walking
Program

A dedicated program for strong pullers and reactive dogs – combining daily hands-on work with private lessons until you can walk your dog calmly and confidently anywhere.

– ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

This program is dedicated solely to improving your dog's behavior on leash and building your own skill to maintain it long after we're done. It's best suited for dogs who are strong pullers, reactive on leash, or owners who simply want a calm, safe, enjoyable walk with their dog.

We start with an initial consultation walk together, where I'll assess your dog and give you things to work on right away. From there, I build a personalized plan based on your dog's individual needs and your lifestyle.

For the first phase of training, I work with your dog myself every day – walking them until they can move comfortably and calmly alongside me. Once we've reached that point, we shift into private lessons together so you can develop the same skills and confidence.

Training begins at your home and progressively adds new distractions and environments as your dog's leash skills improve. We'll walk in multiple locations and alongside my own dogs to proof the training as thoroughly as possible.

Every dog learns differently – some need a softer approach or simply need more time to reach a calm, steady place on leash. That's why I don't set a hard time limit. You get a minimum of 10 lessons with your payment, and if I feel your dog's skills aren't where they need to be, we continue until they are.

There is no guarantee for any dog to be 100% perfect on leash. Results of this program are dependent on your level of commitment during and after our training. Price does not include any tools required for the program.

  • Starts with a Consultation Walk

    We go for a walk together first so I can assess your dog in real time and build a plan tailored to their specific behavior and your goals.

    Daily Hands-On Sessions

    I work with your dog myself, every day, until they're walking calmly and reliably alongside me before we bring you into the picture.

    Private Lessons with You

    Once your dog is ready, we do private lessons together until you're comfortable and confident walking them in any environment.
