ONL Wichita | Operation New Leash 🐾 Veteran-led dog training with a purpose.

Helping families build better bonds with their dogs while creating opportunities for veterans through dog training, connection, and meaningful work.

Recall fails in real life for one reason: we practice it where it's easy. Here's how to build it step by step.

1. Start indoors, where your dog is most likely to listen. Call, reward, repeat.
2. Add a little distance on a long line, then a few steps.
3. Add real distractions slowly, and reward every return.

Recall is a skill, not a reflex. Build it in small steps and it holds up at the park too.

Operation New Leash helps military veterans become dog trainers, starting here in Kansas. Its founder, Scott Sexton, started Andover Dog Training Center to bring his passion for dogs into his life, and training became a form of therapy for him. That proof of concept gave ONL some of its structure. Learn more or follow along at operationnl.com.

A dog that checks in on its own is learning that good things come from you. Reward the check-in, not the pull.

Walk your dog and change direction without warning. When your dog catches up and looks at you, mark it and reward it. A few short sessions a day.

What is Operation New Leash?

We're a new nonprofit building a pathway for military veterans to learn professional dog-training skills and prepare for work as employees.

The goal brings together practical learning, mentorship, structure, and people to work alongside.

We're building this program because the transition into civilian life can come with a difficult question: “What comes next?”

For veterans interested in working with dogs, we want to help make that next step more concrete.

Follow Operation New Leash as we share how the program is taking shape.

🐾 The humans have done enough talking… Ember’s taking over! 🎤🐶

Introducing Ember Explains: Training Humans, One Monday at a Time!

Every Monday, Ember will share a little dog wisdom, practical training tips, and a little attitude to help you better understand the dog at the other end of the leash. ❤️

Because sometimes, the human needs a little training, too. 😉

🎬 Watch her first episode and tell us what you think!

👇 What should Ember explain next—jumping, pulling on the leash, coming when called, or something your dog does that leaves you scratching your head?

Follow along and join Ember every Monday. Class is officially in session! 🐕🎓
