Loose leash walking

Teach Your Dog to Walk on Leash

Stop struggling with loose leash walking. Join my semi private class and get the extra support and fast results that you and your dog need!

You’ve been Googling “loose leash walking” and watching all the videos and going in circles. Nothing is working!

Be honest, does your dog pull on walks and do you find reasons to leave them 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?

Pawsitive Strides Semi Private is a 6-week program. It starts with a small group class to build the foundational knowledge that all dogs need. Then we end the program by taking your skills into the real world with private lessons! That’s right, we could be walking in YOUR neighbourhood!

Here’s How It Works

Week 1 to 4 (in class)

We’ll gather in a facility that’s large enough to give 4 dogs space to practice. This way they’ll be less distracted by each other – that is, until we want them to be! We’ll cover things like:

  • Your goals – what adventures do you wish you could go on?
  • How to settle around distractions
  • Equipment review and recommendations
  • Activities to promote walking nicely
  • How to manage behaviours right now (and your feelings when they happen!)
  • Loose Leash and Heel practice
  • Focus exercises
  • Mental stimulation to tire out overactive dogs before, during, and after the walk
  • Dealing with distractions
2 Follow Up Private Sessions (in the real world!)

These final 2 sessions are 30 minute private lessons with me. We’ll customize a plan to walk in the real world and put all your newfound skills to use! We could meet in your neighbourhood, at a local trail or park, or a store!

Resources

At the end of each session you get an email that sums up what we talked about. It’ll have all the good stuff, like handy resources, tips, and links to video demos. So you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips!

My Support

You get email support five days a week. We can troubleshoot exercises, talk through a bad walk, and celebrate your wins!
