About Loose Leash Dog Training

Loose Leash Dog Training bills itself as elite training for service, sport and support, and the trainer's own account backs the emphasis: sixteen years specializing in service and therapy dogs.

Who the work is for

The trainer writes about working with both veterans and civilians, and names the challenges the partnerships are built around: PTSD, severe anxiety, traumatic brain injury and mobility limitations. Beyond the technical skills, the stated focus is the bond between handler and dog, so that every partnership rests on trust, balance and mutual support. The school also states that it provides training up to advanced specialized work for law enforcement.

What is published

Four class families appear on the site. Service Dog Training with public access preparation. AKC Canine Good Citizen classes, including all CGC service dog levels. Scent work classes running from beginner through introduction to odor to advanced. And agility, covering foundation work, beginner agility, balance work and skill development. The range is summarized on the home page as puppy obedience through advanced sport classes and everything in between.

Credentials, as published

The site lists certification for therapy and service dog training through the American Working Dog Association, and evaluator status with the American Kennel Club for all Canine Good Citizen classes. Neither body is one this directory checks automatically for New York, so both are recorded as claimed.

Practicalities

Alongside classes the school runs events, keeps galleries of client work, and takes enquiries through its contact page.
