Better Bond with Your Dog – Walks and Leash Training

Build a Better Bond with Your Dog

Get your walks on!

Dogs need both physical and mental exercise to be truly happy. Every dog should be walked daily. It’s their only chance to get out of the house and experience the world around them. All the smells and sight are also a great mental stimulation.

Very often problem behaviours are caused by boredom. So adding a daily walk into your routine can result in better overall behaviour. And once again it’s a great way to bond with your dog. The pack that walks together, stays together!

Try it out and take your dog out at least once a day.

I would recommend both morning and evening walk. Even just half an hour each is enough!

Leash Manners Class in Inner West

If you struggle with your walks, you are more than welcome to join my leash class!

In my Leash Manners Class you will be building skills to control your dog in challenging situations, improving overall behaviour outside, around other dogs and people, and strengthening the bond between you and your best friend.

A walk is very often the most exciting and stimulating part of your dog’s day, and unfortunately for many dogs it’s the only activity they get during the day. So the desire to pull and push ahead can be very strong. This is why a leash can become frustrating for a dog.

Being ‘tied’ to a person stops a dog’s ability to act naturally and do what they would love to do because without it they would sniff and run around exploring their environment.

It’s no wonder so many people struggle with lead manners! But I have good news for you! Leash manners can be trained like any other skill!

My leash training will teach your dog skills such as sitting calmly next to you while greeting, stay, heel, loose leash walking, leave it, greeting people and other dogs in a polite way, passing other dogs, better recall skills and most importantly, how to focus on you with distractions around.

I will teach you what motivates your dog and how you really can “speak dog”.
Classes focus on greetings, passings and calm behaviour around other dogs and people.
