no more tug of war
A polite leash walking workshop
Does every walk turn into a battle of wills? This two-part workshop gives you the real tools to change that — not just quick fixes, but a genuine understanding of why dogs pull and how to teach them a better way.
Part 1 is a no-dogs session covering the "why" behind pulling and the human skills that make it work, and you'll walk away with a toolkit of ways to tire out your dog's body and brain before you even start training— from sniffaris to enrichment games to impulse control exercises.
Part 2 brings your dog in for hands-on practice — loose-leash walking, auto-sits, figure-eights, and more — so you both leave with real skills, not just theory.
By the end, you'll have a clear, positive framework for polite leash walking — plus the consistency and patience to make it stick. Spaces are limited, so sign up now and start turning your walks into something you both enjoy!
