This course contains over 4 hours of lecture from Michael Ellis's on leash reactivity. It is important that trainers who are considering this course understand that this course is 4 hours of lecture, it does not contain dog work. If seeing dog work is important to you we would recommend our course we did with Tyler Muto titled LEASH REACTIVITY WITH TYLER MUTO https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/15

The majority of dog owners only use their leash when taking their dog for a walk. A large number of those people are being pulled down the street each and every time they attempt to walk their dog. No one enjoys this experience, which is why we have produced this course on how to use your leash as a tool to communicate with your dog. Through a process called "leash pressure," we can teach the dog how to politely walk on the leash by implementing the skill we call "Loose Leash Walking."

This course takes an in-depth look at leash reactivity while offering a systematic approach for how we handle loose leash walking with some of the most difficult dogs.

Does your dog take you for a walk?  Are your arms and shoulders tired after you return home?  Do you dream of being able to take a nice, relaxed walk with your dog at your side? If you answered yes to any of these questions then it's time to take our Loose Leash Walking course with instructor Tyler Muto!

In this workshop, Tyler will emphasize the importance of softness and the value of creating a cooperative and mutually respectful relationship. Tyler will help trainers develop the skills necessary to train dogs effectively, gently and compassionately when the effects of reward based techniques are limited. The workshop will primarily focus on the use of body language, leash pressure, and the electronic collar, and will emphasize both the core principles that underlie all of these tools, along with the specific mechanics required for each.
