Leash manners are one of the most important things you can teach your dog. Unfortunately most dogs never learn real leash manners. This workshop is for you if you have a dog that pulls on the leash and you want them to learn how to walk politely, all the time, regardless of distractions.

You will learn:

• How most dog owners teach their dogs to pull.
• How to teach your dog to walk politely regardless of the situation.
• How to lay the foundations for loose leash walking.
• Why dogs pull and how to create a loose leash without pulling, jerking, or punishing the dog.

• 10 foot long line.
• Dog on regular collar or harness. Harnesses are preferred.
• Plenty (like 200-300 pieces) of treats that your dog really enjoys.
• Proper attire. We work in the morning, the grass is wet. You need the proper shoes/boots, jeans, if it is cold bring a coat.
• Crate. Your dog will be crated when not actively working.
• Water for your dog. Bring plenty of water.
• Notebook and something to write with or voice recorder.

This workshop is limited to 15 students so register now.
