Leash Walking Workshop

with Danielle Stuber

Saturday, May 31st, 9:00am-5:00pm

What if one day could entirely change the way walks go with your dog? In this workshop, we will be taking a deep dive into all things leash manners! We'll help owners understand the different styles of leash walking and their pros and cons, the training tools that may help or hinder their dog's learning, proper leash handling and safety, and why something that seems so simple can be so challenging. We'll work through a series of exercises and games designed to turn your crazy hang-on-for-dear-life walks into cooperative, pleasant experiences for both you AND your dog!

Working Spot (with dog): $150 - limit 10
Audit Spot (no dog): $75
Auditing is just $25 to any current staff or volunteers with any animal shelter or rescue group. (Use the code "RESQ" when you register to waive the registration fee, and indicate which organization you are with!)

Open to all dogs and handlers with or without previous training, as long as the dog is not reactive or aggressive and is able to be in a group setting without being disruptive. Recommended for dogs over 6 months old - some exercises may be too advanced for young puppies. Dogs may need to be crated during portions of the workshop, so they should also be crate trained and able to hang out away from their owner, and while other dogs work, without being disruptive.
