Any dog who pulls on its leash, whether a puppy or adult, can be a danger to its owner and itself: many people experience injuries such as shoulder and back strains, or even being knocked to the ground when their dogs pull. Likewise, dogs can suffer neck, back and shoulder injuries.
This 4-week webinar series uses positive reinforcement and clicker training as the foundation for good leash skills development.
Good leash manners allow handlers and dogs to participate in activities together and build great relationships when taught using methods that reflect the relationship between dog and handler: we do not use prong collars or chain collars in this class due to the dangers these collars present.
