Leash Walking

Dogs Learn Best from a Leader They Respect (not fear)

Training will take place in your home.
The very place where the pack dynamics play themselves out.

Leash Walking Training Sessions

Leash pulling is a common concern among pet parents, especially those with working or sporting breeds. Often, the dog walks the human.

Training will teach you how to manage the leash safely in order to maintain control and prevent injury but also to enjoy this most intimate activity between pet and parent.

Leash skills are first developed using techniques taught in Obedience Training, so it might require refining your role as pack leader before your dog is willing to allow you to walk him/her.

Emphasis: Focus, Touch, This Way, Redirection, Leadership, Mindfulness

What Customers Are Saying

Priscilla & Moose

“Todd is highly knowledgeable on canine behavior as well as nutrition, dog/human bonding, and more. He is personable, effective and teaches a wide range of skills for both the dog and human. He teaches much more than just the basic commands and that is what we think truly instilled great, long lasting behavior in our 100 lb, 9 month old Rottweiler, Moose! There was not one moment that Todd became impatient even when Moose plopped to the ground refusing to participate. Todd diligently kept finding new and exciting ways to keep the pups engaged! We would not trust anyone else with our furry family members!”

Mike & Zoey

“We adopted Zoey at an estimated 2 years old from a shelter. Knowing nothing of her past, we quickly learned we needed help in transitioning to our home and found Todd. We found Todd a super supportive tool in Zoey's life. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and continues to advance his knowledge. Todd is a very supportive and instrumental influence in our and our dog's life.”

Lori & Roxy

“Todd is the most positive trainer we have ever encountered with our French bulldog Roxy who is almost 3 years old. Todd has such a great rapport with Roxy. He is also fantastic with instructing me how to work with her. Todd has taught us how to stop Roxy from chasing trucks and focusing on us-which used to be frustrating for us. He also lets us take videos to refer to them when doing our "homework." In addition, we were having trouble finding food that Roxy enjoyed-Todd referred us to Merrich, and Roxy loves it!!! And her coat has been more soft & shiny. I now feel so confident that we are on the right path.”

Christine & Willow

“Willow and I have been working with Todd since she was a 12 week old puppy. He has taught us tools that help channel much of her exuberance and curiosity. And he has given me more confidence in handling her. Todd has assured that the puppy I fell in love with has become the dog that I really like and thoroughly enjoy.”

“Todd is a one of a kind trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable, not only about training but about dogs in general. Working with Todd you can see his genuine love and passion for what he does and it shows. He takes the time to get you and to learn each person in the family’s individual relationship to your dog.
Todd loves dogs and my dogs love Todd. He is calm, funny, friendly and no nonsense. We had such a great time leaning with Todd and taking his classes with our first dog, who is the well behaved Rottweiler in town, that we have again turned to him to help with our second puppy. We are grateful to have met and be working with such a great trainer!”

David & Winston

Training with Todd has been a positive life changing experience for me and Winston! When I started training Winston was raw with not much discipline. I was lost but not knowing where I really was. Todd took the time and set me into a new realm making me Winston’s master with his methods and knowledge. It has been a positive life changing experience for us. Winston wants to please me and now I have the tools to complete the task. Winston and I have a much closer relationship now because of the training that Todd has instilled in us.

“Even thou I'm an experienced pet owner, Todd was my first dog trainer, and it turned out I had a lot to learn from him to understand my pet companion and create a strong bond between us. I was so impressed by Todd's teaching techniques, his patience in dealing with people and helping them develop as pet owners, that I decided to extend level of training all the way through Advanced obedience class. Todd is very engaging and thankfully not one of those trainers who demand their way is the only way. He observes what works with pets and owners and adjusts his teaching approach to build best methods for his clients. This is a rare find and I whole heartedly recommend him to all who want a great pet companion and not a robot dog.”
