Struggling with leash training?
This comprehensive program will teach you my 6-week process to dream dog walks.
Regardless of whether you have a new puppy OR an older dog with a long history of pulling on leash, this program is for you.
Rather than just giving you a bunch of random leash training tips that you need to stitch together yourself, I wanted to create a step-by-step learning process for you. The training is broken down into easy-to-follow weekly assignments. There is also a checklist at the end of each week, so you’ll know if your dog is ready to progress.

What's included?
72-page PDF and linked video tutorials. Program covers all necessary skills for enjoyable, tension-free walks. I recognize that everyone learns differently, so each step of this hybrid program is explained in text, photos, and linked video demonstrations.
Expectations:
This program won’t give you an overnight fix, but it can solve your leash struggles. If you can commit to 30-60 minutes of daily training for 6 weeks, I can transform your walks. I like to joke that most dogs’ leash skills are currently at a kindergarten level (at best), while the guardian is expecting university status. No wonder both you and your dog are frustrated! This training program will show you how to sequentially teach all necessary skills for enjoyable walks.

Linda's review of "6 Weeks to Dream Walks"
The Most Comprehensive Guide to Positively Training Polite Leash Walking Available! As a professional trainer and behaviour consultant, helping my clients achieve pleasant leash walks with their dogs is a bread-and-butter part of my job. Walking in a straight line at our incredibly slow human speed is actually a very unnatural and difficult skill for our dogs to learn, with many pieces that must be learned and then integrated. It takes dedicated time and lots of practice for dog and human to be able to move together as a team. Stephanie's course is the clearest, most concise and practical guide I have ever seen. She has deconstructed the individual skills that need to be learned and mastered and laid them out in step-by-step fashion, accompanied by beautiful video tutorials that demonstrate them clearly. The course carefully builds upon foundational skills systematically and each week's checklist ensures that dog and handler are ready before proceeding to the next level. Her writing style and examples are engaging and easy to understand. Not everyone has access to or can afford lessons with a private trainer. This course is priced so reasonably it will be accessible to everyone. I am absolutely impressed with this course and will be recommending it to all my clients. If I could give it 10 stars I would!
The difference in walking with our new pup in just a couple of weeks has been amazing. We are moving a little slower than the suggested timeline because I have an older dog that I won't leave behind and I prefer long walks, so I am still going on walks during training. But my new dog (1 year old) is responding very well, staying with me for short periods of time in a heel when necessary and learning to take a more relaxed walk. I love the tips for when they leave a heel or start to pull, as well as how to deal with distractions. They work very well. The difference in her ability to walk by distractions without reacting is marked. I really love this program.
I strongly believe that the Force Free methods taught by Happy Hounds are correct, and I am looking forward to using them with my rescue dog, Lily. However, we live in an apartment where it is necessary to walk Lily 3 or 4 times a day so that she can poop & pee. How can I teach her the lessons from weeks 1 & 2, when I am supposed to stop walking her during that time? Does anyone have advice?
Absolutely fantastic programme, for an unbelievable price. Definitely worth the money.
Easy to follow, well structured guide to learn loose lead walking. There are a lot of different ways to learn it, but this one is by far the best I have ever seen. And it makes the learning experience pleasant and fun for both the dog owner and the dog.
I‘m happy to recommend this guide to every dog owner!
This guide is thorough, well laid -out and easy to follow. Add to that, it's very affordable. Would recommend it to anyone struggling with training a dog to loose leash walk.
