Training Focus on Safer Leash Walking! 3 private/3 group sessions
When a dog drags you places, that’s dangerous for you AND your dog! Members of our “loose leash walkers” group each get three private sessions ( booked to suit your schedule at the beginning of the month), and 3 group classes cooperatively scheduled for approximately the last week of the month, and an online video lesson package. If you are a WDC member, this class session will be discounted by training level, plus you’re invited to attend as many WDC field trip practice meetups and romp as often as you want! See our levels program for training level and member discount information.

“Jenny has been a tremendous help, teaching us how to effectively and humanely deal with our very large, slightly skittish 3 year-old standard poodle. In a few short months of participating in dog camp we have virtually eliminated lunging on the leash, made crate time a happy experience, and improved socialization skills. And that’s just the dog!” ~E. ADAMS
