Online Leash Training Course

Say goodbye to leash pulling

If walks feel like being towed, this online leash training course is for you. You’ll learn the techniques for loose-leash walking, the cues that make walks easier, and how to keep your dog’s attention when there’s a cat, a kid or another dog across the road.

Who it’s for

Any dog that pulls, lunges ahead, zigzags or gets so excited at the sight of the lead that the walk is over before it starts. It suits puppies learning their first walking manners, strong adult dogs, and owners who have tried a harness or a different lead and found it only helped for a week. No previous training needed.

What you’ll learn

• The real reasons behind bad leash manners, and why pulling keeps working for your dog
• Loose-leash walking techniques that work with any lead and harness
• The cues that make walks easier: let’s go, wait, come, leave it, side and free
• Focus and attention: getting your dog to check in with you outside
• Distraction training around other dogs, people and wildlife
• Duration training, so a calm first minute becomes a calm whole walk
• Calm exits: dealing with jumping and over-excitement before the walk starts
• Reading your dog, and planning short training walks that fit your day

What’s inside

Four weeks of lessons, taken at your pace. Week 1 explains why dogs pull, the basics of training, the walking cues and body language. Week 2 adds distraction and duration training and starts challenging your dog. Week 3 fades the hand signals and combines cues. Week 4 shows you how to build your own training sessions, read your dog, and keep distraction and duration training going on real walks.

Where the Asset Method fits

Pulling works because it gets your dog where they want to go. The Asset Method turns that around: once you understand what your dog values on a walk, forward movement, sniffing, greeting, you can use those very things to pay for a loose lead. You’ll add the three D’s of dog training, distance, duration and distractions, one at a time, starting on a quiet street and working up to the busy park, so the walk itself becomes the reward.

Why online leash training works

Leash manners aren’t learnt in a class with ten other dogs; they’re learnt on your street, on the walk you do every day. This online course lets you watch a technique, try it on tonight’s walk, and rewatch when it doesn’t go to plan, with 12 months of access to come back to.
