Sidewalk Struggles

You envisioned calm, fun-filled walks with your dog, but instead it is more of an embarrassing, frustrating, and anxiety filled experience. From the moment you pick up the leash, the dread creeps in and before you’ve even started, you are already wishing you hadn’t gone.

We understand the impact on both you and your dog when leash walks are a daily struggle, but don’t worry as this program can help transform your sidewalk struggles into your dream walk.

What this program can help with

Relationship building

We know you want a great relationship with your dog so we incorporate games that build focus and attention, grows confidence in shy dogs, nurtures a mutually rewarding relationship of trust and respect and opens up the lines of communication to forge a greater bond with your dog.

Management & Prevention

This program includes games to teach you techniques to confidently manage situations to both prevent and recover from outbursts to put you and your dog on your way to enjoyable outings.

Understanding Emotions

We will help you to understand the emotions behind your dog’s behaviour and use games to transform how your dog feels about and responds to triggers, and how you feel and respond to your dog.
