Is your dog a puller? Is it a challenge to manage your pup's enthusiasm for the outdoors when walking the neighborhood or hiking on trails? We have all had this challenge!

Please join us for a demonstration and instruction on beginning to teach your dog to walk comfortably and happily with a loose leash.

 This is a HUMANS ONLY introduction. We will have a demonstration dog at the event, but to minimize distractions, please leave your pup at home.

Our instructor for this event is Annelliese Delacroix. Annelliese specializes in relationship-based training, helping dogs and owners overcome everything from leash-pulling to reactivity and aggression. She holds a certificate in dog behavior from England and is currently working toward her animal behavior certification - CBCC-KA (Certified Behavior Consultant Canine Knowledge-Assessed). Annelliese uses force-free methods— she helps dogs succeed by working at their pace, and by keeping training fun.  She prefers force-free methods because it allows people to build deeper, more trusting bonds with their canine companions.

Annelliese is mom to the amazing Maze, a gorgeous Belgian Malinois, and she recently fostered Charlie, an American Staffordshire Terrier, with Silicon Valley Pet Project.
