Anniina was fantastic in helping with loose leash walking skills for my 2year old Labrador. Her friendly approach and positive reinforcement techniques helped so much and can clearly see my dog's loose leash walking improve. I have tried other trainers in past who did not help but with Anniina, I saw improvements straight away. Highly recommend.
We first started using Eazy Dog Training during covid when we attended the puppy school it was a challenging time for all however I feel we were set with the foundations to having a well behaved pup following the programme. We have just finished our second training programme (obedience level 1) and are about to book our third (leash manners) I couldn’t recommend Eazy Dog Training enough there is nowhere else I would choose to engage in training with our dog, Anniina is highly skilled professional person and sets the bar high when it comes to anything involving dog training.Every training session has been of benefit to us and our dog responses extremely well to the training techniques used. Everything we have participated in has been easy to follow and are always given time to practice and accomplish the task at hand. We look forward to our next training programme with eazy dog training!
Anniina did such a great job with our dog, Evie. She showed us lots of tips about practicing boundaries and training her to be less leash reactive. Also gave us lots of great info that we would have missed had we not had her help, like sometimes dog parks can actually reinforce impolite behaviours! Anniina's training was 100% worth it and I can't recommend Eazy Dog Training highly enough!

We attended puppy school and can highly recommend this course. Comes with access to an online training program to help solidify your dog's learning. Anniina was knowledgeable and experienced, and was willing to answer additional questions via email. The only thing we missed was the opportunity to do leash training as the venue was indoors.
Five stars isn't enough to rate EDT. I am sooooo thankful I enrolled for a one-on-one session. Lauren, the trainor assigned to us, was so knowledgeable and very helpful. Her insights helped me understand Buddy (a rescue dog) much much better. 15/10 totally recommend! Background: Dog breed: American Staffordshire X Bull Terrier Age: 3.5yrs Issues: dog reactive, pulls on leash, separation anxiety History: N/A, rescue dog from RSPCA

I highly recommend the group obedience classes with Anniinna. I attended the classes with my staffy x who is leash reactive to other dogs. My dog is overly interested in other dogs and it is hard to find other dogs that you can train amongst. The group classes gave me a space to train my dog to do basic obedience training while he is near (but not interacting) other dogs. Anniinna is clear in her instructions and is quick to identify my dog's behaviour and suggest what to do to help address the problem. Anniinna's classes are great for learning basic obedience, but especially great for my dog to work on being around other dogs and learn to not rush to investigate. For best results, combine with ongoing training at home.

'Stop Pulling' Leash Training Seminar - Leash Training for Dogs in Sydney

Does your dog pull on the leash like a freight train? Tired of zigzag walks, lunging at people, other dogs, or distractions? Walking your dog shouldn’t be a battle — it should be a calm, enjoyable experience for both of you.

Our Stop Pulling Leash Training Workshop is a 60-minute hands-on training session designed to teach dogs to walk nicely on the leash while giving owners the knowledge and tools to reinforce calm leash behaviour every day.

Looking for a weekly class instead? Book either our obedience or teen dog classes – they also cover leash manners!

 
Why Leash Training Matters

Leash pulling isn’t just frustrating — it’s a stressful habit for both dog and owner. Dogs that pull are constantly in over-arousal, which can make them reactive to distractions, unsafe near traffic, or difficult to control. Teaching loose leash walking not only improves control, but also reduces stress and frustration, strengthens your bond, and helps your dog feel confident and calm on every walk.

 

Workshop Details

Suitable for: All fully vaccinated dogs, regardless of breed, age, or skill level.
Not suitable for: Reactive, aggressive, or highly anxious dogs.

Location: Marrickville
Duration: 60 minutes

What You’ll Learn:
  • Hands-on leash training techniques to stop pulling, lunging, and zigzagging

  • How to reinforce calm leash manners and encourage loose leash walking

  • Practical strategies for passing people, other dogs, and distractions like food

  • Tips for making walks enjoyable and safe for both you and your dog

By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand not just what to do, but why it works, giving you the confidence to practice consistently and prevent old habits from returning.

Leash walking is about communication, patience, and consistency — and with the right guidance, even the most enthusiastic pullers can learn to stroll calmly at your side.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out! Make walks enjoyable again and give your dog the confidence and calm they deserve.

Eazy Dog Training Offers Dog Leash Manners Classes in Sydney!

In our Leash Manners Classes 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! Our Dog Manners Training in Sydney can help you gain control!

We will teach your dog skills such as: 

sitting calmly next to you while greeting others, stay, heeling, loose leash walking, leaving interesting items/food/etc., greeting people and other dogs politely, passing other dogs when on a leash, better recall skills and most importantly, how to focus on you with distractions around.

We will teach you what motivates your dog and how to “speak dog”.
