Basic Obedience on Leash – Build Control and Confidence on Every Walk
Transform Your Walks With Effective Leash Training
Does your dog pull, bark, or become overly excited during walks? Our Basic Obedience on Leash program is designed to eliminate those struggles by building calm, consistent leash behavior and everyday obedience. Over five structured sessions, we help dogs learn how to walk politely and respond to their owners in high-distraction environments.

This program is ideal for dogs that understand basic commands but need refinement, better control, and improved focus while on leash.
Who This Program is Designed For
- Dogs that pull excessively or ignore leash pressure
- Dogs that lunge at people or other animals
- Owners frustrated by chaotic or stressful walks
- Families that want consistent obedience in daily routines
Whether you live in a quiet neighborhood or busy urban area, this program addresses leash behavior in real-world situations.
What Your Dog Will Learn
Training is conducted in your home and nearby walking routes, helping your dog build skills in familiar settings. Each session adds new layers of focus, calmness, and obedience.
Key Skills Taught:
- Loose-leash walking with calm focus
- Sit and down stays during distractions
- Controlled greetings with people and other dogs
- The “place” command for remaining calm in public
- Walking through doors, gates, and thresholds respectfully
- Redirection from pulling, barking, or jumping
Dogs learn that staying near you on leash is rewarding, predictable, and safe. Over time, they stop reacting to distractions and start looking to you for guidance.
Owner Training is Part of the Process
Each session includes instruction for the owner, so you’re never left wondering how to handle a situation. Dave shows you how to lead with calm authority and gives you the tools to reinforce training between sessions.
You will learn:
- Correct leash handling and timing
- How to guide your dog through difficult moments
- When and how to correct unwanted behavior
- Simple routines to reinforce calm, focused walking
These strategies are not just about your dog—they are about giving you the confidence to walk with purpose, knowing your dog will follow your lead.
Five Weeks to a Better Relationship on Leash
Every session builds on the last. Dogs gain confidence and clarity while owners learn new ways to manage behavior with ease.
Week-by-week breakdown:
- Week 1: Introduction and pattern setting
- Week 2: Adding duration and minor distractions
- Week 3: Focus work in higher-distraction environments
- Week 4: Refining obedience and calm transitions
- Week 5: Real-world walk and final reinforcement
By the end of the program, your dog will be calmer, more responsive, and better behaved during walks.
Real Behavior Change in Real-Life Settings
Training happens where you walk every day—on your sidewalk, in your local park, or near your building entrance. This ensures your dog learns behaviors that transfer to your lifestyle, not just controlled classroom environments.
The goal is to make your dog enjoyable to walk, easy to manage, and calm around distractions like cars, kids, joggers, and other dogs.
