Walking your dog should bring peace and enjoyment, but for many dog owners in Northern Nevada, it often leads to stress.
Whether your dog pulls on the leash, barks at other dogs, or refuses to follow commands, these challenges can turn walks into a chore. At Run-a-Mutt, we tailor leash etiquette training to meet your dog’s specific needs, transforming your walks into a positive experience.
Understanding the Problem
Leash issues challenge many dog owners. In areas like downtown Reno or the hiking trails around Lake Tahoe, dogs encounter numerous distractions. Without proper training, your dog might respond to these distractions by pulling, lunging, or barking. These behaviors not only frustrate walks but also pose safety risks for both you and your dog.
How Tailored Leash Training Can Help
At Run-a-Mutt, we recognize every dog’s uniqueness, which is why we customize leash etiquette training to address specific behaviors and environments. Our Boneminimum package includes three one-hour in-home lessons that focus on essential leash skills and basic obedience. We use positive reinforcement to teach your dog what to expect during a walk, helping them stay calm and focused.
For active dogs, the Adventure Buddy/Trail Guide Training package offers four 1.5-hour sessions on local trails. This program suits dogs that love the outdoors but struggle with recall or staying focused in open spaces. Training in real-world environments ensures your dog behaves well, no matter where your walks take you.
