Why Take Our Classes?

Learn how to introduce your dog or puppy to the leash, then teach him how to walk properly on the leash, even beside you on a bike. A loose leash walk teaches your dog not to pull or lunge when on ​the leash, making the experience more enjoyable for both you and your dog. In other words, we are trying to teach self-control across a variety of specific behaviors.

We understand the psychology of dogs and the underlying drivers behind their behaviours. Our approach to training dogs takes into consideration the history of the working animal, which over time has transitioned to companion animals in household settings. Over time we have humanised our companions, however, their genetic make-up yearns for structure and stability to prepare them for each day.
