Loose Leash Walking Clinic
It gave me confidence that the lessons I had with Sophie were based on real - world scenarios and not just inside in a highly controlled environment - David (Theo's human)
Are stress-free walks for you and your furry companion something you yearn for? Do you find yourself admiring your friends as they stroll serenely alongside their well-behaved dogs?
​
Introducing the Loose Leash Walking Clinic – a nurturing and comprehensive program dedicated to the wellness of both dogs and their devoted owners. Spearheaded by the founder of Fresh Start Canine Behavior, this clinic revolves around cultivating a profound connection between dogs and their human companions. Through the adept use of positive reinforcement and force-free techniques, the clinic aims to refine leash manners and encourage desirable behaviors.
​
Diverging from the conventional indoor class format, these engaging sessions are conducted outdoors, simulating real-life conditions. After all, mastering the art of loose leash walking is about being on streets, parks, and trails.
​
Throughout this clinic, you'll gain invaluable insights into:
​
-
The significance of walks and how to extract maximum benefits.
-
Enhanced communication strategies to bridge the human-canine gap.
-
Effective leash handling skills for a smoother experience.

Techniques for managing distractions and maintaining focus.
