Leash Training in Calgary | Walk Wise

Are you searching for leash training in Calgary? Walk Wise is a Calgary-based specialized dog training class that helps dog owners deal with leash pulling during walks. If your walks with your dog resemble a sled dog race, an epic battle of wills, or a tug of war rather than the strolls you envisioned, our Walk Wise leash clinic is the place for you!

Walk Wise is also a fantastic choice for dogs who walk nicely on a leash except when they see other dogs, pass people, or encounter other distractions. 

If you are a dog owner who has tried everything but the kitchen sink, then Walk Wise is for you!

In this intensive 8-hour clinic, you’ll discover our unique relationship-centered approach to leash walking, incorporating games and various tools and strategies to transform your leash walking experience.

Refined obsessively over 14 years, Walk Wise goes beyond traditional leash training methods, addressing even the most challenging cases that other approaches overlook. We’re serious about tackling this common yet frustrating (and sometimes dangerous) behaviour head-on, ensuring every dog and owner can enjoy safe walks together!

Join Walk Wise in Calgary today and be on your way to leash-walking success!
