The journey begins with a comprehensive initial assessment where we evaluate your dog’s behavior, temperament, and current obedience level. This step is essential as it allows us to tailor a training plan that suits your dog’s specific needs, ensuring effective and efficient training.

Leash Walking Training
Leash walking is a fundamental part of our Basic Training Program. It includes:

Our goal is to ensure that walking your dog becomes a pleasant and controlled activity. We aim to transform your walks from a stressful chore into an enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. Our trainers teach you effective techniques to manage leash pulling, lunging, and other common issues. We focus on building your dog’s attentiveness and responsiveness to commands, even in high-distraction environments. By reinforcing positive behaviors and correcting undesirable ones, we help create a structured and harmonious walking routine.
This not only strengthens the bond between you and your dog but also promotes their physical and mental well-being. Additionally, our in-home dog training provides guidance on proper leash equipment and walking strategies, ensuring you feel confident and in control. Making walks a cherished part of your daily life, we strive to turn them into moments of joy and bonding, enhancing your overall relationship with your furry friend.
