Pack Walk Prep

August 10 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

This class is the first step to joining our Mt. Tabor Pack walks!

The class is designed to both assess skills and provide new skills to make life on the leash enjoyable for you and your dog! We want to ensure this will be a learning opportunity that offers challenge but not stress. I have been training dogs for 15 years and over this time it is clear how on leash tension and leash reactivity affects our dogs off leash greets. We spend more time on leash than off leash so lets make it enjoyable!

My goal is to create a training space that is predictable and supportive for everyone’s needs. This class will offer tools and tricks to foster loose leash walking and relaxed greets on leash with other dogs.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE…..
Ensure your training pouch is on and loaded before getting out of your car. This will help you be prepared to start guiding your dog the moment you open the door. When you approach the group give others 6 feet of space until we learn more about each other. I will give direction throughout the class. We are all working on different training goals so keep in mind that a dog excitedly lunging for a dog trying to build confidence around other dogs can be counter productive.

***Leashes must be fixed 4-6ft.***
***Options for walking gear (if you are clipping to something other than the flat collar) include front clip harness, nose lead, or a Sprenger collar. If you are using a harness with only a back clip option you may nice it is harder to get pulling under control and it is simply because your dogs shoulders are the strongest part of their bodies!***

**Please note: To have an effective class we need a minimum of three (3) people registered, not including the host. Classes with less than three attendees will be rescheduled. Please check the attendee count and messages BEFORE you head to the class. We will do our best to notify you the Friday evening before the event if we are going to cancel due to low turnout.**

We look forward to seeing you there and we are here if you have any additional questions. To learn more about our private training and socialization options, check out our website at http://www.thebalanceddogpdx.com
