Calm on Leash walking
Vs.
Leash Reactivity & Excitability
Because it is about both of you!
Are you struggling with everyday walking on a leash?
Do you have the basics but you and your dog fall apart when you encounter distraction
and hyper-out-of-control dogs on your walks?
Lunging, pulling, acting out, and you are stressed, worried, and feeling defeated!
Do you need guidance on what to do with yourself on the end of the leash in these high-stress situations?
It starts with the human at the top of the leash, not the reaction of the dog at the other end.
Sound familiar? Are you ready to change your walking experience and turn it into what you had dreamed of......
Where to Start
Ask yourself....
Do I have any problems with my dog?
Anything I would like to see change or stop happening at home
or in Public?
Am I focused on obedience commands or am I looking at realistic everyday life? Over excited with visitors in the home, jumping, stealing, hyper activity inside, barking at everything, guarding things, displaying aggression, the list can be long.
What is my training goal?
Are you mainly focused on enjoyable walks with no pulling or lunging and a reliable recall?
You can accomplish those things and more, but it starts at the bottom, the foundation of your existing relationship and training.
Much like a health goal to be fit and lose weight. You must start with your diet and current exercise plan, identify your problems, fix them to move forward to achieve your goals.
