LEASH & GREET
​LEASH WALKING AND GREETING CLASS

CONSIDER LIVE VIDEO TRAINING DURING THE QUARANTINE, WHICH IS VERY EFFECTIVE.  SEE PRIVATE LESSONS PAGE.  REGISTRATION FOR CLASSES STARTING IN MAY ARE AVAILABLE.  ALL CLASSES WILL BE HELD OUTSIDE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Is leash walking enjoyable for you and your dog? How does your dog feel about greeting people on walks and visitors coming to your home?

In this class you will learn practical techniques on how to improve your leash walking experience, making it more enjoyable for both you and your dog.
​
If your dog is exuberant and very eager to meet people and/or dogs, we will discuss and practice ways to control these encounters.

Some dogs are fearful around people and other dogs.  Together we will determine what makes your dog most comfortable in these situations.

​We will address:
  • ​Paying attention skills 
  • Distractions such as animals, cars, bikes, people
  • Loose leash walking and heel
  • Pulling
  • Training gear - collars, harnesses and leashes
  • Leave it and drop it
  • Properly greeting people and other dogs while out for a walk (for both exuberant and fearful dogs)
  • Dog communication and dog body language  
  • Visitors at your home
  • ​and more......

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR HIGHLY REACTIVE DOGS.  Reactivity is best  addressed in private lessons.
