A BETTER WALK. A BETTER RELATIONSHIP.
A BETTER LIFE TOGETHER.

As dog trainers, we are on the receiving end of hearing about ALL sorts of ‘problem behaviors’ inside and outside of the home.

What’s the common denominator? The NUMBER ONE thing we can recommend?

A lapse in communication and a relationship that has room for improvement. There’s no shame in that; every relationship takes work! Here’s the secret… Walking your dog is the single best thing you can do to improve that relationship - and when that improves, when you better understand how to clearly communicate with your dog, it’s much easier to help everything else fall into place.

Walking a dog with a slip lead can be an effective and safe way to enjoy a walk with your best friend. It’s a communication tool that allows you to literally connect with your dog, so that the slightest movements and most gentle corrections are clearly understood by your dog.
