Does your dog pull, lunge, or bark on walks? You’re not alone — and there’s a lot we can do.

What is Leash Manners 101?
Leash Manners 101 is specialised training for dogs that are frustrated, excited, or fearful around other dogs, people, noises, or unexpected situations. If walks feel stressful or unpredictable, this program gives you and your dog the skills for calm, safe outings together.

How it works
In private, one-on-one sessions in Melbourne, an accredited behaviour consultant works with you and your dog at your own pace. Using gentle, science-based methods, we gradually reduce your dog’s stress response to the things that trigger them — until they can calmly follow your lead rather than react.
There’s no punishment, no flooding, and no shortcuts. Just steady, ethical progress built on trust.

Is this right for my dog?
Leash Manners 101 suits dogs who lunge, bark, or fixate on triggers — whether that’s other dogs, strangers, traffic, or noise. It’s also a good fit if previous training hasn’t worked, or if you’re worried about making anxiety worse.
