Leash Manners Mini Course
This is a 3-week mini course that focuses strictly on leash manners, including the following behaviors:
  • How to walk at your side without pulling.
  • How to pass by distractions.
  • How to prevent and eliminate non-aggressive lunging.

Please note: This class should be for dogs that are **not** aggressive, as the work for modifying a dog with aggressive lunging/pulling is different than what it is for just your everyday puller.
