Stop your dog from pulling on leash — and start enjoying your walks again
Does your dog:
• pull on leash the entire walk, no matter what you try?
• walk nicely in calm environments… but fall apart in the real world?
• drag you toward smells, dogs, or distractions?
You’re not alone.
As a professional dog trainer, pulling on leash is the most common struggle I’m asked to help with.
Here’s what’s really going on
Most dogs haven’t been taught the skills they actually need for polite leash walking.
It’s like expecting “university-level” leash skills…
from a dog who’s never been taught “kindergarten-level” basics.
No wonder both of you feel frustrated.
This program shows you how to fix that — step by step
Instead of random tips, this guide walks you through a structured 6-week training system that builds your dog’s leash skills from the ground up.
Just like school, your dog progresses through levels:
👉 indoor training
👉 low-distraction environments
👉 real-world walks
So they can succeed at each stage — instead of failing in overwhelming situations.
The goal is simple
Your dog walks beside you calmly…
checks in with you…
and no longer pulls toward every distraction.
What makes this different
This program doesn’t just teach obedience.
It combines:
✔ skill-building training
✔ smart management techniques
✔ real-world progression
So your results actually hold up in real-life — not just in easy environments.
What you’ll learn
✔ how to train heel and loose leash walking
✔ how to stop pulling without force or corrections
✔ how to handle distractions (dogs, smells, movement)
✔ how to use simple management techniques that prevent pulling
✔ how to build focus and engagement on walks
A complete 6-week plan
You’ll follow clear weekly assignments so you always know:
👉 what to train
👉 how to progress
👉 when your dog is ready to move forward
What’s included
• 72-page step-by-step guide
• detailed written instructions
• photos demonstrating each step
• linked video tutorials
Designed for real life
Whether you have:
✔ a new puppy
✔ or a dog that’s been pulling for years
This program shows you how to build better walks — step by step.

Linda's review of "6 Weeks to Dream Walks"
The Most Comprehensive Guide to Positively Training Polite Leash Walking Available! As a professional trainer and behaviour consultant, helping my clients achieve pleasant leash walks with their dogs is a bread-and-butter part of my job. Walking in a straight line at our incredibly slow human speed is actually a very unnatural and difficult skill for our dogs to learn, with many pieces that must be learned and then integrated. It takes dedicated time and lots of practice for dog and human to be able to move together as a team. Stephanie's course is the clearest, most concise and practical guide I have ever seen. She has deconstructed the individual skills that need to be learned and mastered and laid them out in step-by-step fashion, accompanied by beautiful video tutorials that demonstrate them clearly. The course carefully builds upon foundational skills systematically and each week's checklist ensures that dog and handler are ready before proceeding to the next level. Her writing style and examples are engaging and easy to understand. Not everyone has access to or can afford lessons with a private trainer. This course is priced so reasonably it will be accessible to everyone. I am absolutely impressed with this course and will be recommending it to all my clients. If I could give it 10 stars I would!
Ive been finding this course quite helpful. I like the use of videos and the written instructions. The pace seems about right and I very much seen some progress with my reactive dog. Hopefully more progress to come as i get into the 4th, 5th and 6th weeks
I can easily get overwhelmed if too much is thrown at me too fast, just like a dog at Disneyland. I love how things are broken down into smaller pieces and we have videos that demonstrates each step. I am a dog mom and a level 3 dog walker at my local shelter. Stephanie’s videos have taken my handling skills to a whole new level. Obviously I see the whole range of dog behaviors and I have applied her easy to understand teachings to both my dog and my shelter dogs. Keep the books and videos coming. You have quickly become one of my favorite trainers!
This ebook is a great tool for loose leash walking, but also includes some foundational exercises for a good recall and focus. Full of great insights and tips.
I am on week 2 practising Dream Walking. My dog is highly reactive but with such clear, precise steps to loose leash we are making progress. I watched the whole program to be better prepared for future weeks. Stephanie is an amazing teacher and is not afraid to show unedited videos. Best money spent!
Thank you Stephanie for all you teach us about force free training!
