Mini Lead Training Workshop
Does your dog struggle with pulling on the lead or get distracted easily during walks? Our Lead Training Workshop is here to transform your walking experience! Designed as a 1.5-hour session, this workshop combines theory and practical exercises to teach you the skills necessary to improve your dog’s lead walking abilities. Whether your goal is a stress-free stroll around the block or a reliable walking companion in busy environments, this workshop is the perfect starting point.
Why Lead Training is Important
Walking on a lead is one of the most fundamental and enjoyable aspects of owning a dog, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Dogs that pull excessively, become reactive, or lose focus on their handler can make walking stressful for both of you.
Effective lead training creates a better bond between you and your dog, making walks safer, more enjoyable, and rewarding. Beyond preventing pulling, proper lead walking skills help ensure your dog remains attentive to you, even in stimulating environments.
What to Expect in the Workshop
Our Lead Training Workshop is a blend of engaging theory and hands-on exercises, ensuring you leave with actionable techniques to practice at home. Here’s what you’ll learn:
Understanding Why Dogs Pull
We begin with the basics, exploring why dogs pull on the lead and how their instincts and excitement contribute to this behaviour. Understanding the root cause is key to addressing and managing the problem effectively.
Reducing Pulling on the Lead
Discover techniques to minimize pulling and regain control, even in exciting or unpredictable situations. We’ll show you how to reinforce positive behaviours and make walking a cooperative activity that your dog enjoys.
Improving Responsiveness in Exciting Environments
One of the biggest challenges for dogs is maintaining focus when there are distractions like other dogs, people, or interesting smells. Our trainers will guide you through methods to enhance your dog’s responsiveness and reliability in a variety of scenarios.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is perfect for:
- Dogs of all ages who struggle with pulling on the lead.
