Does your dog pull on the leash, making walks more stressful than enjoyable? If you’re dreading your daily outings, this class is for you!
Join us for a fun and informative class where you'll learn why dogs pull and how to make your walks more enjoyable for both you and your pup. In our final session, you'll put everything into practice with a field trip to downtown Canmore—a great way to test your progress in a real-world setting! Let’s turn those leash struggles into stress-free strolls!
