Loose Leash Walking
Walking nicely on leash is the most basic of skills but is often overlooked in traditional training. Dogs who lack this skill are often deprived of sufficient exercise and social exposure. The result is boredom which can lead to other unwanted behaviors.
I will focus on teaching you and your dog new ways to walk together without pulling or being pulled, and how to handle sudden and unexpected situations that may occur while out and about.

CLIENT REVIEWS
Cheryl is patient, clear, and direct, she’s every dog’s best friend and we often referred to her as Mary Poppins for dogs. She is kind, consistent and thorough in her direction and her positive training methods have enriched our dog’s life in an invaluable way. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a dog trainer.”
Cheryl is able to adapt to each individual dog and handler as she recognizes that each pair is different than the others and clearly communicates how to train specific behaviors with positive reinforcement. I really enjoyed my experience, as did my dog, and will attend another session in future if she hosts one!
Cheryl King was amazing—easygoing, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Her training style was fun, empowering and effective. She created a welcoming space where every dog and owner felt welcome and capable, and encouraged to grow.
For anyone looking for a unique, enriching experience with their dog in a safe, welcoming environment – I highly recommend attending a future event like this one!
