There is—and learning it can make all the difference on your daily walks. From where to grip to how to guide your pup calmly by your side, the way you handle the leash matters.

Whether you’ve got a big, strong puller or a tiny ball of energy, we’ve worked with them all—and we’re here to help make walks easier and more enjoyable for both of you.

Sometimes it’s not about your dog being “bad”—it’s about using the wrong tools. If walks feel like a tug-of-war, you’re not alone.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝:
➡️ Skip the heavy chains & retractable leashes.
➡️ Try a 4–6 foot lead like the Mendota—it’s our top pick for teaching loose leash walking.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭:
✔️ Soft, durable material
✔️ Comfortable grip (hello, long walks!)
✔️ More control, less pulling
✔️ Safer and more effective for training

✨ Imagine enjoying a peaceful walk this spring with your dog walking calmly by your side—it’s possible, and we’ll show you how.

🐾 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐦: 𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

A local dog owner once struggled with her energetic pup who ignored commands, jumped on guests, and pulled on the leash. Through consistent training and positive reinforcement, they transformed their relationship. Now, her dog listens attentively, walks calmly, and greets visitors politely.

If you’re facing similar challenges, our upcoming group class at the Geauga YMCA can help.

Tara, a boxer mix, was reactive toward strangers—especially men. Her owner Angela felt anxious anytime someone new came over. But with positive reinforcement, some structure, and a little patience, Tara learned to settle down and feel safe.

Now, Angela’s whole family feels more at ease—and Tara is finally able to enjoy being part of the action instead of being isolated in another room.

✨ Does your dog bark, lunge, or just struggle to settle? You’re not alone—and it’s totally something we can work on together.

It’s tempting to want to control a high-energy dog through strict rules, but the secret to success? Meeting their energy needs in a positive way!

🐾 Instead of scolding a barking dog, redirect their energy with training games.
🐾 If your dog jumps, reward all four paws on the ground instead of just telling them "no."
🐾 Mental stimulation (like puzzle toys) is just as important as physical exercise.
