Fellow Dog Lovers!!

It's coming! A short video series covering the basics of proper leash handling!!! (Everyone gets to see me for the first time after COVID isolation so dig out your rose coloured glasses, pleez!! LOL!)

STOP dreading the obligation to walk your dog(s) & start enjoying quality time to exercise & experience together in HARMONY!!!

Advance Tip #1: Walking together is not the time for hunting, marking or scanning behaviours from your dog! Their only job while walking with you is to pay attention to your lead & follow it!!

Let DOGS LIKE MIKE show you the steps!!

Question: How are you incentivizing your dog to offer expected behaviours?

Question: Do you think teaching your dog walking etiquette starts outside?

Have you ever come home to this scenario??

GOSH how much we love our canine critters, but MUST they do destruction while you're away???

Easy Answer: NO!!

Dogs chew & maim our households for two main reasons: 1) Boredom/Restlessness 2) Anxiety

I have owned, studied & worked with dogs for over 10 years! Let me put my skills & abilities to work helping you to harmonize the overall relationship you have with your dog(s).

#1 reason behavioural issues exist/persist??

Lack of owner follow-through.

Spring is here--take the time now to introduce positive change as the season for outdoor activities is arriving!!!!

It's a pleasure to introduce the team here at DOGS LIKE MIKE!!

Of course, there's me--Michael Wright--Head Coach. I'm joined by my two enthusiastic rascals Eshu (B&W) & Miss Karma.

Eshu likes to assist when I am demonstrating proper leash handling techniques & when we are installing the "That's Enough," command while working with dogs that are over-assertive (& a bit nosy!!)

Miss Karma is a gentle, playful, cheeky girl that LOVES to teach proper play techniques & boundaries--especially when we're working with puppies or dogs that we are assisting with proper socialization.

No matter what issues or challenges you might be up against with your beloved canine family member(s) DON'T give up until you've reached out to us here at DOGS LIKE MIKE.

These are hilarious vignettes, to be sure!!

But leash pulling is actually a serious issue that can lead to injuries for both dogs & owners.

There are techniques & tools to help with curbing that pesky pulling while on a walk!

Reach out to us at Dogs Like Mike if you could use a hand refining how your team walks together!!!
