Loose Leash Walking
Does your dog pull you around the neighbourhood on walks (no judgment, but I see you!)? Does your dog pull to every distraction … *squirrel!* … and seem to forget that you’re on the other end of the leash? Are you worried your dog might pull you over or injure you or themselves on a walk? Would you like walks with your dog to be more enjoyable and less stressful? Then this is the class for you!
Our 4-week long class is specifically geared towards putting your dog’s good leash manners & behaviours into practice in the real world! This is a hybrid class – 3 classes of instruction at our training facility plus 1 class field trip in a medium- to high-distraction environment in Langley. The final class is an outdoor class & is held rain or shine.
Learn our favourite tips, tricks, and games to teach your dog to walk nicely on leash!
