Be honest, do you dread the pulling on walks or find reasons to leave your dog at home? Do you leave the yard for a walk and suddenly feel invisible to your dog? Are you constantly apologizing for the things your dog does?
I’m helping Halifax area residents with individualized support for dogs that pull on walks – in the comfort of your home or neighbourhood!
The world can be an exciting and overwhelming place for dogs, leading to things like pulling on walks or an inability to listen.

Plus: Bonus Resources!
This course is loaded with extra resources and videos to help you in your leash walking adventures!
In our first session, we might not even do any walking. It’s all about getting to know your goals and your furry friend. We’ll also check out the gear you use on walks to make sure it fits right. If needed, I can give you some suggestions for other options.
We’ll be taking walks during our training sessions too! We’ll start off in calm areas that are perfect for you and your pup to learn. Once we’re feeling confident, we’ll move on to places with more exciting distractions. Get ready for some pawsome training sessions!
Every team is different – depending on how we’ve been doing, we might even go on exciting field trips in our upcoming sessions! Let’s say one of your goals is to bring your furry friend to a store that welcomes pets. Well, we can arrange a session where we put all those skills you’ve learned into action in a real-life setting. It’s going to be fun and rewarding! Ready to embark on this adventure together? Let’s go!
Plus, you get tons of support!

A few client highlights!
No need to take my word for it either! While the online version of Pawsitive Strides is new, I’ve been using it with my in-person clients for a while and they’ve noticed a huge difference!
Lemmy’s Mom – Started the program unable to walk her 80lb goldendoodle. The first time she walked him during a session I could see how nervous she was but she made it! That bit of success empowered her to continue practicing in low distraction areas and using landmarks to judge how much farther she could make it up the block.
I am so impressed with their progress and can’t wait to continue working through Lemmy’s distractions!
Rosie’s Family – Rosie’s family loves to hike and be out exploring. The plan was for Rosie to join them whenever possible but as she got older and stronger, it was becoming less fun. Rosie’s mom would have to pass the leash to dad to give her shoulder a break while she pulled them from squirrel to blowing leaf to body of water!
We’re not finished the program yet but walks have become much better and Rosie’s mom is able to take more of a lead with training!
Gimble’s Family – Gimble’s parents know he’s a special dog, meant for great things! They’d love to get him certified as a therapy dog but he pulls so hard so they need to tackle that first. With my help they have begun to see success calling him away from distractions like other dogs, people, and those awful blowing leaves!
I’d love to help you reach your goals!
You’ve done your research – you’re feeling energized and motivated to finally tackle this walking thing! Get on in here so I can get you started on the path to reaching your goals!
