Loose Lead Walking Masterclass // 4 x 1 Hour Classes

What if loose lead walking wasn’t some well‑kept secret?

Loose lead walking is one of those skills everyone wants… and almost everyone finds hard. It takes consistency, good timing, and (let’s be honest) a fair bit of patience. Add in all the conflicting advice online and it’s no wonder so many people feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure what to do next.

If your walks feel like:

• you walking the dog… or
• the dog walking you…
• but rarely like you’re actually walking together

this Masterclass is for you.

This 4‑week Loose Lead Walking Masterclass is designed to help you properly get a handle on your skills — not just follow a method and hope for the best.

We’ll break loose lead walking down into clear, manageable steps, from the foundations right through to more advanced real‑life challenges. You’ll learn why things work, how to apply them, and most importantly, you’ll get the chance to practise with guidance and feedback.

Across four weekly classes, we’ll do a deep dive into every part of nailing loose lead walking, including:

• The foundations your dog needs before loose lead walking can really work
• How to build engagement and connection on walks
• Lead handling, positioning, and timing (the details that make a big difference)
• How to progress your training without losing clarity
• Troubleshooting pulling, distractions, and frustration
• Working towards calm, controlled walking around other dogs

Each week builds on the last, so you leave with a clear plan and a strong foundation you can keep developing long after the course ends.

This Masterclass is suitable for dogs of all ages and is ideal if:

• You’ve tried loose lead walking before but it never quite sticks
• You feel overwhelmed by different techniques and advice
• You want to understand the details, not just copy exercises
• You’re ready to slow things down and train with intention

Reactive or easily distracted dogs may be suitable too — if you’re unsure, it’s best to get in touch so we can chat it through and make sure this is the right fit.

Whether you’re starting from the basics or looking to level up what you already have, this course is about helping you and your dog walk together with more ease, clarity, and confidence
