For Dogs Who Pull, Drag and Tug on the Leash
Walk Wise, is a leash training class in Calgary that has been created to support dog owners with dogs who pull, tug and drag their owners here, there and everywhere on walks. If walks with your dog resemble more of an Iditarod sled dog race or a never-ending tug of war than the relaxing strolls you imagined with your canine companion, then our Walk Wise leash clinic is the solution you’ve been searching for. Even if your walks start off smoothly but quickly devolve into chaos at the slightest hint of a distraction, we are here to help!
This class has been designed for the most persistent pullers and for dog owners who have exhausted all other avenues. In this intensive 8-hour clinic, you’ll learn a relationship-centered approach, incorporating games and a diverse set of tools and strategies to revolutionize your walking experience with your dog.
Perfected over 14 years, Walk Wise surpasses conventional leash training approaches that address dogs within the “bell curve,” but overlook the outliers. We’re committed to tackling this common yet frustrating (and sometimes dangersous) behaviour head-on, ensuring no dog or owner is left behind.
