Yes! With consistent practice and positive reinforcement, most dogs can learn to walk more calmly on a loose leash. Every dog learns at their own pace, and we'll tailor the training to suit your dog's needs and your walking goals.
-
That's completely normal! Our programs gradually teach your dog to stay engaged with you while building confidence and focus around real-world distractions using reward-based training.
-
Please bring your dog, a regular flat collar or well-fitted harness, a standard 4–6 ft leash (no retractable leashes), and plenty of soft, high-value treats. We'll recommend any additional equipment if needed.
-
Short, consistent practice sessions produce the best results. We'll provide simple homework after each session so you know exactly what to work on before your next lesson.
-
Training takes place in real-world environments so your dog can practice where it matters most. Depending on your program and goals, sessions may be held at our facility, in your neighbourhood, or another suitable public location.
