Loose Leash Walking Training

One of the most common issues dog owners face is pulling on the lead.

Many dogs become excited by the environment and quickly learn that pulling helps them get where they want to go.

Unfortunately, this often leads to frustrating walks for both dog and owner.

At Trail & Train, we focus on teaching dogs how to stay engaged with their handler while remaining calm around distractions.

Training includes:

  • Engagement exercises

  • Reinforcement of position

  • Appropriate management strategies

  • Building focus around distractions

  • Developing calmer walking habits

Every dog progresses at a different rate, but with consistency and the right approach, significant improvements can often be achieved.

Why Dogs Pull

Pulling is usually not caused by stubbornness.

Dogs pull because:

  • The environment is rewarding

  • They are excited

  • They have practised the behaviour repeatedly

  • They have never been taught an alternative

Training focuses on changing these patterns while creating clearer communication between dog and owner.
