At Puppy and Friends Academy, I bring a wealth of hands-on experience to the "Loose Leash Walking" course, drawing from years dedicated to understanding canine behavior and the nuances of dog training. My journey in the field began as a fascination with the unique bond shared between dogs and their human companions. This curiosity evolved into a professional mission to enhance communication between canines and their owners, resulting in more harmonious relationships. My expertise is grounded in a blend of patience, consistency, and empathetic training methods that respect the individual personality and needs of each dog.

I am deeply connected to the "Loose Leash Walking" course because it embodies an essential aspect of canine welfare—creating an environment where dogs can enjoy walks while remaining safe and responsive to their handlers. It’s a joy to empower dog owners with the skills to nurture trust and cooperation with their furry friends. Witnessing the transformation in dog-owner dynamics as they master the art of loose leash walking is both rewarding and inspiring. My passion for teaching this course is fueled by the belief that every step taken together in harmony strengthens the love and understanding that forms the foundation of the canine-human bond.
