Menoka's professional dog training will enhance the bond between you and your dog.

Leash Training

$310oo

Walking nicely on a leash teaches your dog discipline, obedience, and cooperation. A dog pulling and jerking on a leash makes for an unpleasant walking experience. Learn loose-leash walking techniques so that your walking can provide a safe, consistent form of exercise that is beneficial to both you and your dog! The Leash Training Series is great for dogs over the age of six months and includes 2 private, in-home lessons which are approximately 60 to 90 minutes in length.

  • LESSON 1: basic manners including clicker training to learn touch/come, sit, wait, watch me, and down. Mat training, impulse control, and the name recognition.
  • LESSON 2: leash walking outside, learn how to cope with distractions and learn redirect techniques.

Many people think that dogs innately know how to walk on a leash, but this skill is something that needs to be trained. Leash walking is an important skill to teach, and one you’ll value every time you take your dog out for a walk.
