Rediscover the Joy of Walking with Your Dog

You’re Not Alone – We Can Help

If you’re dealing with a dog that pulls on the leash, you’re not alone. Since 2008, we’ve trained over 4,000 dogs, and leash pulling remains one of the most common issues we address. We understand how overwhelming and discouraging it can be, but we’re here to let you know that it doesn’t have to be this way.

At Dog Owner’s Academy, we’ve successfully helped thousands of dog owners just like you transform stressful, frustrating walks into calm, enjoyable experiences. Using proven techniques that encourage positive behavior, we’ll work with you to teach your dog to walk politely by your side, making walks a pleasure instead of a chore.

How We Can Help: In-Home Training

For a personalized solution, we recommend booking an in-home consultation with one of our expert trainers. This allows us to work with you and your dog in the environment where leash pulling typically occurs, creating a customized training plan tailored to your dog’s specific behaviors.

During the consultation, we’ll:

• Assess your dog’s behavior: Understanding why your dog is pulling is key to fixing the issue.
• Demonstrate techniques: We’ll show you effective, humane methods to teach your dog to walk calmly on the leash.
• Provide ongoing support: Our training doesn’t stop after one session—we equip you with the tools and tips needed to reinforce the behavior long after the consultation.

With our help, you’ll soon be enjoying walks with your dog rather than dreading them!

If you’re tired of being dragged down the sidewalk by your dog, it’s time to take the first step toward a more enjoyable walking experience. Book an in-home consultation with Dog Owner’s Academy today, and let us help you turn leash-pulling struggles into peaceful strolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why does my dog pull on the leash?
Dogs pull on the leash for various reasons, including excitement, curiosity, or lack of proper leash training. They may want to explore their surroundings faster than you’re moving, or they may not understand that pulling is undesirable behavior.

2. Can leash pulling be fixed?
Yes! Leash pulling can be corrected with consistent training and the right techniques. At Dog Owner’s Academy, we specialize in teaching dogs to walk calmly and politely, no matter their age or breed.

3. How long does it take to train a dog to stop pulling on the leash?
The length of time varies depending on your dog’s temperament, age, and how long they’ve been pulling. Some dogs show improvement within just a few sessions, while others may take more time and practice. Consistency is key!

4. Will training work for an older dog?
Absolutely. Dogs of all ages can learn to stop pulling on the leash with proper guidance and positive reinforcement. It’s never too late to teach your dog new, better walking habits.

5. What can I do in the meantime while waiting for my consultation?
In the meantime, try using shorter training walks and practice stopping or changing direction when your dog begins to pull. Reward calm walking with treats or praise to reinforce positive behavior. Avoid letting your dog move forward while pulling, as this reinforces the behavior.
