Second and Fourth Thursdays at 11:00am ~ Loose Leash Walking ~ Learn how to teach, and then practice, polite walking with a loose leash. One of the goals is polite meeting & greeting of other dogs and people. Learn how to use the leash to communicate with rather than control your dog.

This 3-week workshop will be held at the Canine Conduct Training Grounds, 7778 Sturgess Rd. (off Endall)) from 6:00pm to 6:50pm. Class is limited to 6 dogs.
Living with a reactive dog can be difficult. In this workshop you will learn how to help your dog learn to turn away from triggers such as other dogs, bikes, cars, etc. Having a dog that lunges and barks and completely "tunes out" the human end of the leash can be embarrassing, frustrating, and sometimes scary. Over the years, Jane has noticed that more often than not, it is how the leash is handled that triggers the dog into the unfavourable reaction. During the workshop, you will learn how to connect with your dog using an understanding of Dog Speak and how movement can influence the outcome. Learn leash skills that will communicate with rather than control your dog.
June 18 class is for the human end of the leash only, but do bring your dog's leash and a friend...you will be learning the mechanics of leash skills on each other rather than learning on your dog.
June 25 & July 2 classes do bring your dog; but be very mindful to keep distance from each other!
CA$145.00
