Overview
Does your dog need help with their leash walking skills?
This workshop is for dogs that need one-on-one training to top behaviors such as pulling, reactivity (lunging and barking) or excessively marking on-leash.
This 4 session workshop focuses on improving on-leash walking skills. The trainer uses positive reinforcement and incentive-based training methods. Dogs are instructed in different locations offering a variety of distractions to help reinforce training in real-world settings. Sessions are one-on-one training with your dog.
This program is not designed to address aggressive behaviors such as lunging or barking with an intent to hurt other dogs or people.
