Good weather is here to stay for the season (we hope). And with those sunny days and long warm afternoons comes more time to be outside with your dog! So today we’re talking about the most universal place where people struggle with their dogs – walking them outside on a leash.

We like to think the Zen Dog way is different from what other trainers do because we emphasize a special way of holding the leash, and actually encouraging dogs to experience and explore the environment around them while on the leash or walking. It's all about balancing that control.

In this episode learn the best full-body leash handling skills, the best style of leashes to buy, tips for your first few walks together, and why we don't like those Flexi retractable leashes for training.
