#loose leash walking Articles

A practical Canadian guide to fixed dog leads and training long lines, reward-based loose-leash walking, recall practice, handling hazards and site-specific rules.

Sit, down, stay, recall, leave it, drop it and loose-leash walking are useful everyday skills, but no dog becomes reliably trained on a seven-day deadline. This evergreen reward-based guide shows how to teach each cue in small steps, how to separate 'leave it' from 'drop it', why recall must be proofed around distractions, how to build duration and distance without flooding your dog, and when to get qualified professional help.
