Loose Leash Walking
Paws N Play offers unique Loose Leash Walking classes for dogs who pull on leash, bark or lunge on leash at other dogs, people, etc. We teach you and your dog to walk calmly and loosely on a leash while ignoring distractions on the walk. This makes walking more enjoyable for both you and your dog!
We offer two levels of Loose Leash Walking opportunities:
Loose Leash Walking Dog Training Class
This 4 week Loose Leash Walking dog training class is perfect for dogs who constantly pull and/or lunge while walking, or get highly excited whenever they see a distraction while walking such as squirrels, other dogs, bikers or joggers. We show you techniques that you can use to support your dog and help him remain calm while walking despite all the exciting things that you may encounter every day!
