In this class you’ll learn strategies and training techniques for getting your dog to walk with a loose leash and reliably come in a real-world environment! We’ll be focusing on how to get your dog’s attention and how to keep their attention with outdoor distractions like crows, squirrels, other people, and dogs. All activities are on-leash only.

Topics include:

  • Strengthening your Emergency Recall
  • Effective use of non-food reinforcers
  • Preventing the “drive by” and “just out of reach” come
  • Teaching a “suggested” vs “mandatory” recall
  • Using prey drive to reinforce your come
  • Practicing loose leash walking and heel with a release cue
  • Using a long leash for sniff walks and practicing recalls
  • Shaping attention in a distracting environment
  • How to do polite greetings with people and other dogs

Walk With Me & Come When Called is a 5 lesson “series” class scheduled 1 day a week over a 5-week period (unless there are skip dates, e.g., for Holidays). Classes can’t be swapped or rescheduled because each class has a set begin and end date with content that builds from class to class.

This class includes a free dog training clicker and an instant download of our 100+ page Ahimsa Dog Training Manual. You can also purchase a hard copy at the Ahimsa Training Center. Click here for more information on our Ahimsa adult dog classes in Seattle.
