This Dalmatian used to pull hard on every walk.

This Dalmatian's owner said it best: “My boy is really strong and was pulling me on every walk. Now, I have so much more control over him.”

That's the whole point of the Sidekick. Less pulling, more walking.

Every dog deserves a walk their owner can actually enjoy.

What do people who work with a lot of dogs actually use? 🤔

Some of our favorite reviews come from dog pros. Trainers, dog walkers and shelter volunteers.

Swipe to meet six of them:
A dog walker who recommends it to clients.
A shelter volunteer using it with reactive dogs.
A trainer with a 160 lb Great Dane.
A trainer who uses it with all of their clients.
A protection sports trainer.
And a trainer who lent theirs out until a family got their own.

Every quote is in their own words.

Bringing a new dog home? Skip the yelling.

In Heather's house, a new dog wears a leash from the start. It's the Dynamic Duo, a leash and collar setup that lets her guide the dog calmly.

No grabbing at the collar. No raised voice. She just picks up the leash and guides them where she wants them to go.

It builds structure, clarity, and trust from the very first day.

One thing to know: this leash stays on for supervised time only. Never leave a dog alone wearing it, dragging it, or tied up.

That's Heather's Hint for today. Small setup, big difference in how a new dog settles in.

One of the most heartbreaking parts of loving a dog who's afraid of people is knowing the world may never see the beautiful soul you see every day. 💔

Living with a reactive, people-sensitive dog isn't always easy. And trust me, I get it.

Even after 30+ years of working with dogs, I still navigate these challenges with my own girl, Zoey.

I know what the world sees. The muzzle. The precautions. The boundaries. But I also know the sweet, loving, goofy girl who means everything to our family.

It's a constant balance between protecting her, respecting her fears, and keeping everyone safe.

So if you're navigating life with a dog who struggles with people, I see you. I understand the heartbreak, the frustration, and the unconditional love.

Not everyone gets to see the dog we know. And that's okay. Because they don't have to love her the way we do. ❤️🐾

For some dogs, a plastic bag is the scariest thing on the block. 👻

Arthur is a nearly 70 pound rescue. A bag blowing in the wind, a sign twisting, a baby carriage rolling by, and he'd try to bolt.

His family tried a lot of training methods, leads and collars first. Nothing helped him settle.

Now they say they have much more control on walks, and he's a happier, calmer boy.

If your dog spooks at little things, you're far from alone. Save this one for a hard day. 💜

This beagle has crossed this cattle guard plenty of times before.

This time, he stopped. He looked down at the metal bars and took a second to think about it.

Then he worked through it anyway. One careful step at a time, until he made it all the way across.

That's what real confidence looks like: facing something that feels different and walking through it anyway.

Good job, buddy. 🐾

Meet Snoop. 🐾

Big, strong and highly leash-reactive, Snoop came to my Difficult Dogs Made Simple workshop struggling around other dogs. By day two, he was walking alongside the whole group.

What changed? His mom, Gretchen, learned how to use the Sidekick® with clear communication, structure and calm.

The Sidekick® is the original Transitional Leash®: a 2-in-1 head collar and slip lead I designed after 30+ years working with difficult dogs.
