How big is your leash??

We should be able to safely and comfortably walk a 60+lb dog on a 1/4 - 1/2inch wide leash! None of these giant horse-rope leashes, harnesses with leashes attached all over and even those giant "no pull harnesses". Why? If you go out ready for a rodeo you're going to get a rodeo.

Giant or heavy duty leashes, collars and harnesses tell your brain you're up for a struggle with your monster of a dog. Your mindset really affects how you handle your dog and how you handle your dog affects their behavior. Treat them like they need heavy duty handling and it will be hard to get your brain to embrace that you can do it with a pinky - and hard to convince *them* you don't want a rodeo.

Another benefit is that walking them on a leash not much bigger than a shoe string makes your brain think about how to not pull on your dog - "yikes, what if the leash breaks?!" - so you learn better ways to walk with them. You learn to use your voice, your body, your expressions to keep your pup with you.

A soft, slack, tiny leash is a beautiful way to show that your relationship with your dog is healthy and happy.

And you can get that! Call us and get the relationship with your dog that makes people stare at how well behaved he is.

Yep, Lassie.

I really do want everyone to be as happy as Lassie and her family. Yep, it’s maybe a pipe dream but I’m making a difference one dog at a time. As a trainer in the Bay area for decades I’ve learned about the difference between what a trainer wants a dog to be and what a family wants their dog to be. So I’ve morphed over the years and am sure to put your family’s needs over my training ideology. I know that we really just want our dogs to BE GOOD. We don’t want to have to micromanage by telling them what to do all day every day. You shouldn’t have to tell them to Sit for everything, they’re smarter than that! They absolutely can learn to know what to do and not just “Watch me” (oh, I hate that command... want to know why? Give me a call! (408)710-2883) or Place (ugh, same thing). What I do: Change bad behavior by teaching life skills like - *No more leash pulling! *No more barking and growling on walks *No more jumping on people *Come when called *Use good manners in the house For people in my teaching programs I offer special classes in: Rally Obedience Nose Work Temptation Alley (Come no matter what’s on either side!) Canine Good Citizen Who I do this for: People in the San Francisco Bay area with dogs that * just need help to be the great dog their family knows they can be Special Work with: *Dogs that behave aggressively *Dogs that are fearful or shy *Dogs that are “anti social” *Dogs that have been turned away from classes by other trainers What I don’t do: *show or competitive Obedience *Protection Dogs DON'T keep wasting time and energy on methods that don't work. click the call button and give me a call or send me a message to get a free phone consultation. I have new programs starting soon, let’s get going!
