Teach your dog how to Be Calm On Leash

Leash Manners

From Chaos to Calm

For many dogs, the moment you pick up the leash, they become overly exuberant and hard to control. We believe it would be unfair to punish a dog for this excitement—it’s no different than punishing a child for being excited about a holiday. At AskDogTrainers.com, we focus on redirection rather than restriction.

With our professional guidance, you will learn how to counter-condition your dog’s response to the leash. We teach them that the quickest way to get out the door is actually to sit and remain calm while being leashed.

De-sensitization
Breaking the "trigger" response so the sight of the leash doesn't equal an instant spike in energy.

Stationary Focus
Teaching a reliable "Sit" or "Wait" that holds even when the collar is being clipped.

Impulse Control
Establishing the rule that a calm dog gets the reward of the walk.

Retraining a dog's excitement can seem like a big project, especially if they've been "winding up" for years. However, by taking it step-by-step with professional advice, the task becomes far less daunting. Let our team help you turn the start of your walk into a peaceful moment.
