Private Leash Training


Serving Easton MD, Oxford, St Michaels

Calm, connected walks without pulling, lunging, or frustration

Walks should feel pleasant, not stressful.

If your dog pulls, lunges, zigzags, or reacts to every distraction, even short outings can become exhausting.

If you’re feeling frustrated or avoiding walks altogether, you’ve got plenty of company. Loose-leash walking is a skill—and like any skill, it can be taught. With clear structure and thoughtful practice, walks can become calmer, safer, and far more enjoyable for both of you.

What We’ll Work On

  • Building loose-leash foundations

  • Clear leash-handling skills

  • Reducing pulling and zigzagging

  • Strengthening focus to navigate other people and dogs calmly

  • Managing surprises and challenging environments

  • Increasing safety and confidence on everyday walks

How It Works

Leash training begins at home, where we teach new skills in a calm, low-distraction environment.

Once you and your dog feel confident with the foundations, we gradually transition into real-life settings, building success step by step.

The Details

My Loose-Leash Walks program is offered as a package that includes a comfortable, no-pull harness and specialty leash (if needed), plus training pouch and treats to support consistent practice.

What Clients Say

“In just a few sessions, Lisa showed us how to better manage the leash and apply key techniques to focus on us rather than other dogs, which has significantly improved our walk experience.” — Helene

“She gave us a myriad of supplies and activities and games to help Tucker with his leash manners and polite greetings, as well as advice for his general happiness, and we really see a difference.”—Emma

“Our walks are much better. And she is not pulling much at all, just walking nicely on a loose leash.”
—Susan
