This Walking Package is designed for dogs who struggle with leash manners, including pulling, zigzagging, stopping and refusing to move, or biting the leash. Whether your dog is overly excited, constantly sniffing, lagging behind, or simply ignoring you on walks, this package helps teach them to walk politely and stay connected to you in real-world settings.

We start by teaching your dog to focus on you even when there are distractions nearby. Building this attention helps your dog understand that you come first, not every squirrel or passerby.

Step by step, we improve loose leash walking by teaching your dog where to walk, how to respond when they stop or pull, and how to stay calm and controlled around people, dogs, and other distractions.
This training is not about socializing, greeting, or playing with other dogs, but about building polite leash manners and focus.

Each week the training becomes a little more challenging based on your dog’s progress.

Important: This package is not for Reactive Dogs with barking or lunging at dogs, people, bikes, or other triggers in public. If your dog reacts with fear or aggression, please see the Reactivity Package for support with behavior modification.

We strongly encourage all household members to attend sessions. The more consistent your family is with leash expectations, the easier it is for your dog to understand and succeed. Everyone will have the chance to work with the dog and ask questions during each visit.
