Is your dog taking you for a walk?
In this mini class we will teach you the fundamentals of how to teach your dog to want to walk nicely by your side.
In 5 steps, we will begin to change your dog’s patterned behavior of pulling and create a new habit.
- Teaching your dog to be aware of and correct tension in the leash,
- Teaching them that being right next to your side is the best place to be
- We will build a solid foundation for you and your dog every time the two of you leave the house.
- We will also focus on getting/keeping your dog’s attention in a high distraction environment because if we can’t get them to focus on us, how can we expect to get them to walk with us?
- We will work on building the ‘leave it’ behavior so that you can turn your dog from distractions
