oppositional reflex? Well, it's what motivates your dog to drag you down the
street. A dogs breed plays a role in walking and of course what behavior is
being reinforced. We'll discuss and try different pieces of equipment that will
assist in solving the problem. Bring your rowdy dog, your walking shoes and an
open mind. We'll have you enjoying a walk with your dog in no time.

come to the house, it's enough to make me what to bring him to the shelter!

what they do, then we'll move right into changing your behavior so your dog can
change his. Imagine walking in the door and having your dog waiting for you

Imagine walking your dog, off leash and feeling totally confident
that when you call her, she'll come running to you. It's possible, very

you or not come to you we'll begin training.
