One owner used to wrap the leash around their waist just to hold on. 😅

That's how walks with Luna used to go. And Luna is their partner's dog.

Then they switched to the Sidekick. Their words now: "now there's slack in it!"

Luna's a great walker these days, and they both get to enjoy sunset walks together.

Ever tied a leash around yourself just to get through a walk? Tell us below. 🐾

If it is just puppies, it is like having a kindergarten class with no teacher.

Nobody in the room knows the rules yet. So they teach each other the wrong things, at volume, very fast.

Put a few steady older dogs in and everything changes. The puppies learn what is too much, what gets ignored, when to back off. And they learn it quicker from those dogs than they ever learn it from us.

We are not in there refereeing every interaction. We are lifeguards. Watching, ready, and staying out of the water unless we are needed.

If your puppy only ever plays with other puppies, that is worth a rethink. They are missing their best teachers.

Before: an anxious walker. Now: she walks in peace. 🌿

Her owner says she used to warn every dog she saw to stay away. Even their behaviorist suggested just avoiding other dogs.

She didn't love the leash over her nose at first. After two weeks of wearing it, they could pass dogs, even ones she used to react to.

Now she gets to sniff and walk in peace.

If walks feel stressful for your dog right now, save this one for a hopeful day. 💜

🐾 Which Sidekick® is right for YOUR dog?
Mini 6-foot? Regular 6-foot? 8-foot Explorer? 🤔
Choosing the right Sidekick comes down to your dog's size AND where you are in your training journey!
🐶 Mini 6-Foot Sidekick®: A thinner, lighter option that's great for smaller dogs.
🐕 Regular 6-Foot Sidekick®: My go-to recommendation for most dogs and their humans who are just getting started! With less leash to manage, you can focus on learning how to use your Sidekick and helping your dog get comfortable with it.
🐕‍🦺 8-Foot Explorer: A great option for larger dogs who need that additional length for the head halter setup. It's also a fantastic next step for dogs who are already conditioned to the Sidekick and ready for a little more length and freedom!
💡 My biggest tip? Start with the 6-foot Sidekick whenever possible. Get comfortable, put in the work with your dog, and then graduate to the 8-foot Explorer when you're ready!
👀 AND here's a little sneak peek at what's coming...
The 8-foot Sidekick is also going to pair really well with our Infinity Paw™, coming soon! 🐾
So if you're already working toward that next level of freedom with your dog, there's something exciting on the horizon!

Why does your dog pull? 🤔

A lot of pulling is practice. Every step forward on a tight leash teaches your dog that pulling is how walks work.

The good news? Practice works both ways.

Swipe for 4 simple changes:
1. Tight leash? Stop. Loose leash? Go.
2. Show them the 12 inch bubble beside your leg.
3. Calm first, then walk.
4. Stick with it through week two.

It's slow and a little boring. That's okay. Slow is how it sticks.

Save this for your next walk, and send it to a friend whose dog pulls. 🐾
