Our Loose Lead Walking course is a six-week course for dogs from approximately nine months of age.
Pulling on the lead is one of the most common difficulties owners experience, but there is rarely one single reason why a dog pulls.
Some dogs are excited. Some are worried. Some want to reach smells, people or other dogs. Some have simply spent a long time learning that pulling gets them where they want to go.
Rather than using one technique for every dog, we start by looking at why your individual dog is pulling.
We begin with the absolute basics and build the skill in small blocks each week.
You will learn simple exercises that can often be practised for only three minutes at a time, making them realistic to fit into everyday life.
Across the six weeks we gradually bring those exercises together with the aim of producing a significant improvement in your dog's lead walking.
There will be homework between sessions because loose-lead walking is a skill that needs practice away from class as well as during it.
Classes have a maximum of six dogs so there is plenty of opportunity for individual coaching.
The course is supportive and non-judgmental. Lead walking can be difficult, and we are interested in finding the solution that works for the dog and owner in front of us.
Every course has its own WhatsApp group, which you can opt in to join. This gives you access to your trainer and assistant between sessions for additional support.
You can use the group to ask questions, share any difficulties you are having with your loose-lead walking homework and let us know how you are getting on. We also use it to share useful video content and additional guidance to support your training at home.
