Forget Your Traditional Leash Walking Training.

Is your dog wild, crazy, and completely unable to focus the moment you step outside? If your walks feel more like a wrestling match than a relaxing stroll, you are likely skipping a crucial step in your leash training. In this video, Instructor Kayl McCann takes a high-energy Irish Setter puppy named Juniper to show you exactly how to turn chaos into calm. We often expect our dogs to walk perfectly for blocks at a time, but if they can't focus on you for two seconds while standing still, they certainly can't do it while moving past distractions. Kayl breaks down the "3 Ds" of dog training (Distance, Distraction, and Duration) and shows you why shortening your walks might be the fastest way to fix them. You will learn how to manage your distance from distractions (like friendly strangers) to set your dog up for a win every single time.
