Leash walking
A workshop to discover how a walk with your dog on a leash can be a real sharing experience, and not a constraint or worse, a moment of conflict.
During this workshop, you will learn ways to improve communication with your dog. You will live experiences that will teach you how to understand why a dog pulls or stops and no longer moves forward, and you will learn how to help the dog.
Leash walks will turn into adventures for you and your dog, during which you will grow together, while strengthening your bond.

FAQ
What is the date of the next workshop?
To be determined…
If anyone is interested, send me an email and we can organize a workshop on a date that works for you.
If you already have a group of at least 3 people with dogs, I can also travel to come near your location.
How can we pay?
You can pay by Twint or e-banking.
Until what date are registrations accepted?
Approximately 3 days before the workshop date, but with flexibility.
What will happen if there are not enough participants? Will the workshop be canceled?
It will depend on the number. The workshop may be postponed. But in principle, no, I won't cancel.
In the event of a change (weather), how will we organize ourselves?
If the weather forces us to change the date, I will send a Doodle to set a new date.
How will we communicate?
There is a WhatsApp group for communication, participants are added to the group once signed-up and removed after the workshop.
Can two of us come to accompany one dog?
Yes, you just have to tell me in advance.
How many participants are there in a workshop?
A minimum of three participants is required for a workshop to take place.
For the practical part, groups will be formed based on the number of dog-owner pairs, with 2 to 4 pairs per group.
If my dog has trouble staying alone in the car, can I stay with him?
The goal is to avoid stress for the dogs. We will discuss each case individually, and I will do what is necessary to ensure everyone benefits as much as possible from the experience, without stress, fear, or anything else.
Are there any other workshops already scheduled?
The idea is to offer several workshops to progress together. Depending on demand, I will set other dates and publish them on social media. At the end of each workshop, there will be the opportunity to organize the next steps to move forward together by setting goals based on the wishes of each one.
