Walking is one of the best ways to build a strong bond and grow your relationship with your dog while also providing your dog with the physical and mental exercise they need.
Walking your dog also provides ample opportunities for training, exposure, and just a great experience overall.
But, some dogs have a harder time walking on a leash than others. Walking in large groups together helps guide dogs into a follow state, making it easier to work on leash training.
Sign up today and join Sage and our head trainer, Adam, as we show you some dog walking basics in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.
