Does walking your dog feel more like a tug-of-war than a stroll? In just three focused days, we’ll transform your walks from a battle into a bond.
A Different Approach
Weekly I meet with anxious and frustrated dog owners on any number of behavioral issues – from pulling on the leash to aggression to chewing up shoes, general disobedience or jumping on guests. Invariably, there is one exercise I recommend for all of them: the Leadership Walk
The Leadership Walk – or as many call it, the “Wonder Walk” – addresses the underlying cause of most dog behavior issues: confusion over who makes the rules and who’s running the show.
In just 3 days, Dairydell can significantly transform your puller to a prince on leash. Our 3-day Puller Intensive course is a new add-on boarding service that everyone should consider. Drop off your puller on a Thursday morning, and pick up your prince (or princess) on Saturday morning, for training with you, with focus on maintaining your dog’s new manners. A custom-chosen training collar for your individual dog is included!
What Three Days Looks Like
Day 1 — Foundation and Real World Manners:
- Your dog learns to “pack up” and follow a leader, building the instinctive bond that makes every later step easier.
- Structured walks outdoors, leadership around distractions like other dogs, people, and — yes — cats.
Day 2 — Precision & Control:
“Leave it” around ground distractions, introduce changes of pace and sharp, confident direction changes. Greater attention and control.
Day 3 — Then YOU join the training.
Learn the handling skills to keep the results going long after we’re done.
Why It Works
This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a foundation. The same leadership bond built on Day 1 sets your dog up for more reliability down the road, not just a leash that stays loose.
The Result
A dog that walks with you. Checks in without being asked. Handles distractions calmly. And a bond that carries far beyond the leash.
