Tired of being pulled down the street by your dog? Our Loose Leash Walking Bootcamp is here to transform your daily walks into a pleasant, stress-free experience! This focused workshop is designed to teach your dog to walk calmly by your side, without tugging or dragging.

What You’ll Learn:

• Techniques to reinforce polite leash manners.
• How to handle distractions like other dogs, people, and enticing smells.
• The importance of timing and consistency in training.
• Strategies to improve your dog’s focus and engagement.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or need a tune-up, this bootcamp provides practical tools and hands-on guidance to help you and your dog enjoy walks together. This workshop will help turn your leash struggles into leash success!

Please note: This class focuses purely on loose leash walking skills. It is not designed for dogs with reactivity. If your dog exhibits reactivity towards other dogs or people, please consider our Dogs with Attitude class.

Important Updates:

• The last two classes (weeks 5 and 6) will be held on location at local parks (locations to be determined) to provide real-life practice and application of the skills learned.
• To avoid darkness during these outdoor sessions, the last two classes will start 30 minutes earlier than the regular class time.

Join us to transform your leash struggles into leash success!

Welcome to Walk This Way! To ensure a successful and safe experience for you and your dog, please review the following guidelines:

Health Requirements

• Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and follow their veterinarian's recommended vaccination schedule.
• Provide proof of a recent negative fecal test.

What to Bring

1. Leash and Collar/Harness:
   • Use the harness or collar your puppy wears for walks.
   • Bring a 6-foot clip leash. Retractable leashes are not allowed.
2. Training Treats:
   • Treats should be about the size of your pinkie fingernail and squishy for easy chewing.
   • Bring more treats than you think you'll need—hungry dogs are more motivated!
   • Skip dinner on class nights if needed, as your dog will get their meal from your treat bag.
3. Appropriate Attire:
   • Wear comfortable clothes that allow free movement.
   • Closed-toed shoes are required.
   • For farm classes, dress for the weather since outdoor work is common.

Class Etiquette

• Maintain a 6-foot distance from other dogs unless instructed otherwise by your trainer.
• Be prepared to listen to your instructor's guidance to ensure a safe and fun learning environment for everyone.
• Please note: This class focuses purely on loose leash walking skills. It is not designed for dogs with reactivity. If your dog exhibits reactivity towards other dogs or people, please consider our Dogs with Attitude class.

We look forward to helping you and your dog build confidence, bond, and develop skills in a positive, engaging setting!
