Specialized Training
All Private On-Leash Walks incorporate experienced special training cultivated around your dogs behavioural needs. With consistency, these sessions are designed to build better habits, boost confidence, and make life easier for both you and your dog.
Engagement Training
Engagement Training focuses on teaching your dog to stay mentally connected with you, especially around distractions. Through positive reinforcement, your dog learns to check in, respond to cues, and walk calmly by your side.
You will notice your dog becoming more attentive on walks, less reactive to distractions, and more eager to listen both inside and outside the home.
Impulse Control
Impulse Control training helps your dog learn to pause, think, and make better choices instead of reacting on instinct. Through practicing commands and calm greetings, your dog develops patience and self-regulation.
This leads to better leash behaviour, and fewer impulsive behaviours like jumping, barking.
Heel Work
Heel Work teaches your dog to walk calmly and consistently at your side, without pulling or drifting. It builds focus, impulse control, and a stronger handler-dog connection in busy or high-distraction environments.
With consistent practice, you will experience smoother walks, better leash manners, and dogs that looks to you for direction, rather than leading the way.
Recall Training
Recall Training teaches your dog to come when called reliably and confidently. We start on a long lead to build consistency and safety, gradually working toward off-leash freedom once your dog is ready.
While strengthening your dog’s response around distractions, this training is essential for off-leash safety.
