At Leader of the Pack KW, our training goes beyond just basic obedience.

By gaining a deeper understanding of your dog, it will provide you the tools and knowledge to foster a relationship based on trust, love and respect! All while preventing and managing common behavioural challenges and helping you achieve your training goals!

Pack Walks
Our pack walks offer dogs a chance to practice calm, structured socialization while building solid leash manners, confidence, and overall balance. Each walk provides both physical and mental enrichment, making them a great option for dogs who need safe exposure to other dogs or would benefit from guided pack time. All new dogs begin with a trial walk. This first session allows us to get to know your pup and assess their leash skills, social comfort level, and overall suitability for the group.
Safety Policy
To ensure the wellbeing of the whole pack, we need to be able to safely manage all dogs in our care. In some cases, we may recommend at least one training session with Leader of the Pack KW before your dog’s trial walk. This helps ensure your pup can walk on a loose leash, stay in a calm heel, and remain composed around other dogs! These are essential elements for maintaining a safe and positive pack environment.
