Dog Training Foundations: Recall, Lead Walking and Calm Greetings

You’ll learn the basics that turn everyday walks into enjoyable outings for you and your dog. The course starts with recall, teaching your dog to come back when called, even in busy parks or around tempting smells. You’ll discover simple, step‑by‑step methods that use clear cues and positive reinforcement, so your dog learns to trust you and respond reliably. Strong recall skills keep your pet safe and give you confidence in any environment. Next, the focus moves to lead walking and calm greetings. You’ll find out how to pick a comfortable leash and collar, how to create a relaxed rhythm on the lead, and how to handle the excitement of meeting other dogs and people without losing control. By the end, you’ll be able to guide your dog calmly through doorways, on the street, and at the park, making every interaction pleasant for both of you. These everyday skills improve your dog’s wellbeing, reduce stress, and help you enjoy a stronger, happier bond.
