Walking in Balance
This course starts again in May 2026. Please contact info@caninesupport.co.uk for further information.
Frustrated by your dog pulling on the lead? Does your dog refuse to walk?
One of the best things about having a dog is going for lovely long walks and spending quality time with them. However, walking can become a dreaded chore if your dog pulls on the lead, or if they are nervous about going for a walk and often freeze.
- Do you ever feel like your dog has no idea you are at the other end of the lead?
- Are you embarrassed by your dog's behaviour on walks, frustrated by the pulling, tired of the struggle?
- Do you dread taking your dog for a walk because of the discomfort it causes you and your dog?
- Is your dog afraid of going for a walk? Do they become 'stuck' in certain places and are unable to move?
- Do you wonder if you'll ever be able to stop your dog from pulling?
- Would you like your dog to be less anxious on a walk?
Ready to transform your walks into stress-free strolls?
Walking in Balance Online Course starting on the 2nd of September 2025:
The 'Walking in Balance' course is for dogs that struggle with the environment, whether that's pulling with excitement or refusing to walk due to overwhelm. I will show you all the things I use to create enjoyable walks with your dog.
You will learn gentle techniques using Tellington TTouch to create a deeper bond and more focus with your dog, leading to effortless walking without the pulling or the freezing.
- Build on focus and connection with your dog, so that they know you are on the other end of the lead.
- Learn the importance of choosing the right equipment AND how to use it.
- Learn how to help your dog change their posture so that they become more physically and emotionally balanced.
- With fun games to practice your new skills and build more awareness through movement.
Trauma Informed Walking: Prioritising Your Dog's Emotional Safety
- Does your dog get overwhelmed? Whether it's fear, frustration, or too much excitement, this course can help!
- Build Your Dog's Confidence: This course goes beyond leading techniques. We'll help you achieve "Walking in Balance" by focusing on your dog's physical needs, mental well-being, and emotional security. This comprehensive approach builds your dog's confidence, making them a calmer companion who can navigate the world with greater ease.
- Tailored for Sensitive Dogs: Recognising that each dog is an individual with unique needs, we offer a range of gentle and respectful loose-lead walking techniques. We'll work together to find the approach that best supports your dog's physical and emotional well-being, helping them achieve a sense of balance and confidence.
I know how it feels to have a dog that pulls on the lead & also refuses to move at times!
When I got my dog Remi, I realised how lucky I had been with all my other dogs, who naturally walked on a loose lead. Remi, however, PULLED A LOT, and as soon as she was on the lead, it was like she didn't even know I existed and definitely didn't know I was holding the other end of the lead.
I tried everything, positive reinforcement training techniques, treats, clickers, and other trainers online courses, but Remi remained a furry steamroller on four legs!
Does this sound familiar to you?
The good news is that after some creative problem-solving and Tellington TTouch leading techniques, Remi is now a delight to walk on the lead.
Firstly, she knows I'm on the other end of the lead - that's a massive win! Remi regularly looks back and checks in with me. She is no longer leaning forward into her harness and the lead is relaxed. Plus she's no longer pulling my arm out of its socket, and our walks are much more fun.
Now that we've worked on focus and connection, the outside world isn't just a source of excitement for Remi; I'm also a part of that enrichment.
Does your dog refuse to walk sometimes?
Remi, despite being a large Bullmastiff, is incredibly sensitive. During walks, she sometimes experiences a 'freeze' response, where she gets 'stuck'. Instead of labelling her as stubborn, I understand that past experiences may be contributing to her anxiety.
By listening to her body language and offering a sense of security, I can provide a reassuring and calming presence. By supporting her through any emotional distress, and allowing her processing time, I can help her regain her composure and continue our walk.

Why use Tellington TTouch?
Tellington TTouch is a specialised approach to the care and training of our animals. It can be used as a stand alone therapy or integrated into your positive reinforcement training plan.
Leading Techniques are a key component in the Tellington TTouch Method, and we use the TTouch Playground (also known as the Confidence Course) to practice new skills and re-educate ourselves and our dogs about walking on the lead.
At first glance, the TTouch Playground may look like an obstacle or agility course, but we navigate the obstacles at a slow speed to develop the dogs' focus and concentration, improving their confidence and the connection you have together. Having fun is essential as this aids the dogs' ability to learn and improves their body awareness.
Benefits of TTouch Ground Work
The TTouch Playground can be described as an 'awareness course' for both the dogs and humans involved, and is easy to create a 'Playground' in your garden. Mindful, slow and steady groundwork is an essential element of the TTouch method.
- Promotes fun for both of you, which enhances learning.
- Encourages focus for all parties.
- Slows the process down, requiring the nervous system to pay more attention.
- Requires non-habitual movement and enhances communication between you and your dog.
- Increases coordination and balance (mental, emotional & physical).
- Helps dogs become successful, which improves confidence.
