Puppy and Dog Leash Training, Start to Finish Step-by-Step

Описание: Leash training works best when you start simple. I work with Muffin, a brand-new foster puppy, to show luring and reward placement that build focus and smooth movement. Then I switch to my adult dog Apollo to demo the final walking structure and cue timing you will use once you add tools. These steps work for puppies and for adult rescue dogs that never learned polite leash skills or perhaps have even build so bad leash manners.

What you will learn
• When to begin with a new puppy or adult rescue
• Simple setup, treat prep, and reward size so focus stays high
• How to lure your dog to move with you, mark, and pay while you keep the flow
• Reward placement that builds engagement and a naturally loose leash later
• Short, indoors first reps, then add movement and mild distractions
• Cue words and timing, watch, stop, let’s walk, heel and reel
• Final walking structure with Apollo, position, pace, and check ins
• What to do when sniffing, stalling, jumping, or puppy zoomies show up

Local to Glendale or Phoenix West Valley and want help with walking manners or reactivity? I train with force free with a focus on positive reinforcement. No prong, choke, or shock.
