This series is designed to allow a dog and handler to develop all the skills they need to have a solid foundation of obedience and to prepare them for off-leash work or resolving problem behaviors. The course (part one) starts with a reward based foundation, before diving into leash pressure in Part 2.

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.

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!

This course is a continuation of Obedience & Behavior Foundations Part 1. The material in this course will finish and proof the work taught in Part 1 of this series. This course is equivalent to the second half of the original Obedience Foundations course.
