    No Pulling - Loose Leash Walking

    Does your dog pull on leash when you are out for a walk? Would you like the pulling to stop, so you can enjoy your walk? Then this is the class for you!

Our main focus of this 4 week course is to teach your dog to walk nicely on a loose leash and not pull you. During this course we will be working both inside and outside. You will need to bring a leash,collar/harness, and treats!
