🐾 LEASH WALKING: IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NOT PULLING! 🐾

Does your dog walk you instead of the other way around? 😂 Does every squirrel, person, or interesting smell turn your peaceful walk into a full-body workout?

First, take a breath. You’re not failing, and your dog isn’t giving you a hard time. Leash walking is a skill that has to be taught, practiced, and built over time!

Here are a few things that can help:

🐾 Start small. You don’t have to master walking around the neighborhood on day one. Start in your house, driveway, or yard.

🐾 Reward what you like. When your dog checks in with you, walks beside you, or keeps the leash loose, let them know they’re doing a great job!

🐾 Be consistent. If pulling gets your dog where they want to go, they’ll keep trying it. Practice teaching your dog that a loose leash is what moves the walk forward.

🐾 Give them room to learn. If your dog is overwhelmed by other dogs, people, or distractions, create some distance. It’s much easier to learn when they’re able to think instead of react.

🐾 Remember that progress isn’t always a straight line. Some days will be better than others, and that’s okay! A few minutes of productive practice can be more valuable than a long, frustrating walk.

And please remember: your walks don’t have to look perfect to be successful. ❤️

At Misfit Pups Training, we work on real-life problems with real dogs and real people. No judgment, no expectation that your dog should already know everything — just a plan to help you both succeed.

What’s your biggest leash-walking struggle? Pulling, reacting to other dogs, or stopping to sniff absolutely everything? 😂 Tell me in the comments! Let’s talk about it. 🐶

🐾 A Little About Me & Misfit Pups Training 🐾

Hey, I’m Carly! The person behind Misfit Pups Training. ❤️

I want people to know that when you reach out to me for help with your dog, you’re not going to get judgment from me. You’re going to get someone who understands that dogs can be hard sometimes. Maybe your dog pulls you down the street, loses their mind when they see another dog, won’t listen when you call them, or has behaviors that leave you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Whatever it is, you don’t have to feel embarrassed or apologize for your dog.

I’m here to help, not to judge.

I focus on real-life training for real-life problems. Not just teaching your dog to sit in a quiet room, but helping you navigate the things you actually struggle with in your everyday life together.

And honestly? I genuinely love what I do. I love working with the dogs who need a little extra help, the ones who might be misunderstood, and the owners who just want to figure out how to make life a little easier for both of them.

When we work together, you’re not just another client, and your dog isn’t just another dog on my schedule. I care about your progress, your struggles, your little victories, and the relationship you’re building with your dog. I want to see you succeed, and I want you and your dog to enjoy life together.

There’s no such thing as a perfect dog, and you don’t have to be a perfect dog owner. You just need a place to start and someone willing to help you along the way. 🐶

That’s what I want Misfit Pups Training to be. A place where you can ask questions, talk honestly about what’s going on, and get help without feeling judged.

Real dogs. Real-life challenges. Real support.

If that sounds like the kind of help you and your dog need, I’d love to work with you. ❤️🐾

A solid recall isn’t just about making life easier when your dog is running around the yard. It can literally be the difference between getting your dog back safely and chasing them down a road, into the woods, or toward something dangerous.

Dogs get loose. Gates get left open. Leashes break. Things happen.

And when they do, you want your dog to know that when you call, coming back to you is always worth it.

Recall takes practice. It takes consistency. And it takes building trust so your dog learns that coming to you doesn’t mean the fun always ends.

You don’t need a “perfect” dog. You just need a dog who knows, “When my person calls me, I go.” ❤️🐾

That’s a skill worth investing in.
Because you never know when you’re going to need it.

Does your dog need a little help? 🐾

You don’t always need a huge training program to make progress.

That’s what my 30-minute virtual training sessions are for.

Here’s something I believe pretty strongly…

Training isn’t just about training the dog.

It’s about teaching you how to communicate with your dog, too.

That’s why I love virtual sessions. I can see what’s happening, help you troubleshoot it, and teach you skills you can continue using long after our 30 minutes are over.

Virtual Training — $50 / 30 minutes

Perfect for puppies, obedience, leash pulling, house manners, reactivity and more.

You don’t need fancy equipment or a perfect dog.

You just need to be willing to start. ❤️

Send me a message if you’d like some help.

Your dog doesn’t have to be perfect before you ask for help.

Actually… that’s kind of the point. 🐾

If you’re struggling with your puppy or dog and aren’t sure where to start, I’m happy to help.

I’ve opened up 30-minute virtual training sessions for just $50 so you can get one-on-one guidance without the cost of an in-home session.

We can talk about whatever you’re struggling with — from basic obedience and leash manners to reactivity, anxiety and house manners.

No judgment. No shame. Just practical help.

Message me and let’s figure out your next step. ❤️

You know that thing your dog does that you’ve been saying you really need to work on?

The pulling.
The jumping.
The barking.
The puppy chaos.
The “WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?!” moments. 😂

You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

I offer 30-minute virtual training sessions for $50, so we can work through what’s actually happening with YOUR dog and come up with a plan you can use at home.

I’m keeping these sessions affordable because I want training to be accessible to more people.

If you’ve been putting off asking for help, send me a message. ❤️
