Loose-leash walking doesn’t mean your dog has to spend the entire walk glued to your leg.

Board & Train pup NELLIE showing off the two versions of loose-leash walking we teach our dogs.

First: the free walk. On a 20-foot long line, Nellie has the freedom to sniff, explore, take in her environment, and, most importantly, make choices. She gets to be a dog while still learning how to do it responsibly.

Second: the more formal heel. This is structured movement with Nellie positioned right at our side, ready to follow direction and maintain focus when the situation calls for it.

Both have their time, place, and purpose.

The goal isn’t a dog glued to your leg for the entire walk. It’s also not a dog dragging you wherever it wants to go.

The goal is communication, control, and freedom.

And in both versions, the leash stays loose—making the walk more enjoyable for everyone.

Great day of K9 training yesterday with the crew. 6 K-9 teams, all 6 canines and handlers are products of Tri-State Canine Services. Everyone working hard to keep people safe and take poison off the streets. A huge thank you to the Jefferson County Commissioners for allowing us to use some property under their control to train in.

6 months old and curious about everything in the world, what a fun time in a dog’s life to get to work with them.

Lincoln started his two week board & train yesterday, so he’ll be working on his manners and obedience alongside Ranger, who is starting his second week.

Ranger isn’t just learning how to do things. He’s also learning how to do nothing.

That ability to relax, settle in, and let the world happen around him when the situation calls for it is an incredibly valuable skill.

Being able to tell your dog, “Go to your spot and just chill for a while,” can make a huge difference in so many areas of everyday life. It teaches patience, impulse control, and the ability to switch from action mode to calm mode when needed.

A lot of people have the wrong idea about the “Place” command. It’s not about keeping a dog trapped on a cot or forcing them to be still.

Used properly, Place is simply another tool in the toolbox—and a damn good one.

A well-trained dog shouldn’t just know when it’s time to work. They should also know when it’s time to relax.
