Loose Lead Walking

One of the most difficult things to teach your dog, is walking on a loose lead. In this course we will exclusively practice loose lead walking, also known as heelwork.

You will learn techniques to keep your dog focused on you, and how to teach them an awareness of distance between you both. Cavaletti Exercises will provide your dog with more body awareness, and give you an awareness of their stride length. Self-Control exercises will also be thought as part of this course, and this will help if lunging is a problem for your dog.

For best results, practice at home between classes is vital.

Please see below for details of the various courses and sessions that are either running, or starting soon.
