Loose leash walking starts without a leash 🐾 Clarity is what helps everything fall into place. Whether you’re training a puppy, helping a rescue dog, or working with a dog who’s spent years pulling at the end of the leash, this can make sense for you and your dog. Leash walking is one of the most unnatural things we ask dogs to do. That’s why patience matters. And why enjoying the process matters just as much as the result ✨ Watch the latest episode of Shaped by Dog on YouTube ▶️ | Susan Garret

We all love dogs, but when it comes to leash control, we sure are fractionated as a community. How great would it be if we could unite together, even just as we pass each other at the park. Kind of like two Harley riders passing on a deserted highway. We don’t have to know each other, and we don’t have to have the same views about life. We just have to pay homage to another dog lover out doing what we do with the dog that we love. The “Leashed Up Wave”… right now it’s just an idea, but it could

I have five criteria for when a dog should be allowed off leash freedom. 1 – When they are in a secure and safe fenced-in area. 2 – When you are walking in an area where there is no chance of your dog coming across livestock, or wildlife that can’t get away. 3 – When there is no chance of you coming across another dog who is not friendly. 4 – When the dogs in an area all get along. 5 – When your dog has a fabulous recall! And the underlying component of all 5 is that the environment is safe (tho

Good dog training isn’t about pointing out mistakes. It’s about building confidence so your dog chooses the right answer. 🧠 Confidence doesn’t come from endless repetition. It comes from understanding. When a dog can perform a skill anywhere, anytime, without hesitation… When they light up because they know they’ve got it… That’s REAL confidence.✨💙 Want to learn more about successful loose leash walking?

🐕 So everyone knows that Siberian Huskies are the model of dogs that are "super-easy-to-train" right? Especially getting them to do things like "come when called" even if they are distracted by wildlife...🐇🐇🐇 ✋✋✋...wait ⁉️...that's not what you heard? Ok, I'm fibbing. 🤷 🔥Huskies have a reputation of being HORRIBLE about coming when called if they are distracted. 🔥🔥They are bred to RUN, run FAST, pull SLEDS!
