Imagine stepping out the door, ready for an easy walk with your beloved dog …
The sun is shining, 🌞 the birds are chirping, 🦜 and all seems well …
But as soon as you clip their leash on, chaos ensues! 😣
Your dog lunges forward, pulling with such force that it feels like they’re out to take you for a walk and not the other way around. They drag you along like there’s no tomorrow.
They gasp for air, coughing and huffing as a painful reminder of the struggle while you steadily pick up your pace to alleviate the pressure on their neck.
You try to regain control by pulling back on the leash, but your efforts are fruitless … 🥴
Your dog seems oblivious to your commands, their attention consumed by the scents and sights around them. Despite your best efforts to win them over, your dog remains fixated on their own agenda, pulling you further away from the path you first intended to walk down.
Meanwhile, people cast judgmental glances in your direction, 🧐 their expressions a mix of pity and annoyance. You can feel them silently questioning your ability to control your unruly dog.
You feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, frustrated, and powerless, wondering if you’ll ever experience a peaceful walk with your dog.
After all, this should be a simple and enjoyable activity.
At that moment it feels more like a battle of wills, testing your patience and strength at every turn.
And as you stomp along, desperately trying to keep up with your dog, you can’t help but wonder if things will ever get better … 😒
While some dogs walk calmly and politely on the leash for most of their lives, they are rather the exception than the norm. 😉
Most dogs pull.
Even Anja and I have dealt with leash-pulling with our own dogs. And let us tell you, teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash was one of the biggest projects we’ve taken on, but also one of the most rewarding.
I’ve been there with my first dog Kelly – when it was time to go for a walk with the whole family she was like a Yo-yo, 🪀 bouncing back and forth, and jerking me along with her.
Even food, which she would normally sell her soul for, became worthless in those moments. I’m actively working on loose leash walking with Ponyo now and I know Anja has worked on it too, with Tuvalu.
Getting yanked around is no fun. 😅
I struggled with this behaviour until I started treating leash pulling as a symptom, not as the main problem itself! And that’s the secret.
Did you know that …
Most dogs, if given the opportunity, would much rather not feel constant leash pressure on them at all times.
That sounds counterintuitive, right? 💡
Especially if your dog pulls you behind them on every walk, all the time.
But let us reassure you, being on leash and pulling you behind them is not something dogs would naturally choose to do.
If your dog had the choice to walk freely towards what they want or pull you on the leash to get there, they definitely wouldn’t choose to pull you behind them.
They would simply make their way towards the thing they wanted. 😉
With over 15 years of experience in the dog training world, this is exactly what we found.
Dogs don’t pull because it’s a fun thing to do …
They pull because they’re feeling overwhelmed by the environment, they’re anticipating something enjoyable, or being attracted to something they desire in the distance. 🤩
During the filming and training of dogs for this program, we observed that even the dogs that pulled the most (including those that seemed to enjoy it), stopped pulling when the environment was not exciting, they had no specific agenda, were in a calm state of mind, and had nowhere to be.
And when you look at it that way, 👀 things suddenly seem achievable!
By tackling the root causes and emotions that lead to leash pulling and showing your dog that walking by your side is more rewarding than the surrounding environment, achieving the loose leash walk you desire can be surprisingly easy.
And you can do it too!
Feeling frustrated and helpless because it seems like you’ve tried everything and have been working on loose leash walking for ages but you’re still in the same spot.
Reaping the rewards of your hard work and feeling proud of your dog’s newfound leash manners.
Being in physical pain because
your dog drags you behind them.
Feeling safe when you walk your dog and being pain-free.
Feeling lost because you don’t know how to get your dog to cooperate.
Feeling capable as the owner of your dog and knowing what to do if something takes you a step back during the process.
Struggling to enjoy walks due to
constant leash pulling.
Finding joy in harmonious leash walks and feeling proud of the bond you have created with your dog.
Facing difficulty connecting with your dog during instances of leash-pulling.
Experiencing a sense of unity and connection during walks with your dog

Thousands of owners are already enjoying peaceful walks with their dogs by their side. Will you be next?
Level: 1
Establish crucial fundamentals like food value, a calm mindset, and teamwork, creating a safety net for addressing issues later in training. Uncover the underlying causes of leash pulling by exploring your dog’s reactions in this section. Recognize signs of excitement or anticipation, gaining valuable insights to focus on during training.
This initial step is essential, offering a solid base for future training and a better understanding of your dog’s needs.
Level: 2
Introduce exercises that your dog needs to learn to be able to perform the behaviour later down the line. Through fun games and activities, your dog learns the correct position for loose leash walking, leash pressure cues, impulse control, permission cues, a follow-me game, and more.
With those, we lay the groundwork for future behaviours. You start off by teaching these behaviours in the comfort of your own home.
Level: 3
Here you begin weaving together the puzzle pieces from the previous stages, combining the skills with the foundational tools.
It’s where you test your dog’s abilities by taking things outside into the real world, increasing duration, addressing any challenges that might arise and more.
Level: 4
Moving into the Polishing stage, you refine your dog’s leash-walking skills. Here, you introduce new challenges to help with generalisation and elevate the behaviour to the next level.
Level: 5
Finally, this stage is dedicated to maintenance work. Remember – pulling on leash comes naturally to dogs so if you do not incorporate little reminders into your training after your dog knows the behaviour well, they will likely start pulling on the leash again.
This stage simply offers some exercises that will help keep your dog’s leash-walking skills at their peak.
1.
We don’t address the symptoms, we address the root of the problem itself. Which allows any owner and any dog to succeed. Our method allows you to pinpoint the root of the problem with your dog and follow the exercises which will help you resolve the symptoms in accordance with your dog’s root cause.
2.
This course provides a ready-to-use, 5-stepping stone system with thorough theory, dynamic exercises and challenges to upgrade your knowledge and skills so that you can train your dog effectively. The pyramid lays it out for you.
3.
Learn how to work through your existing problems and build new, reliable, behaviours. We teach you how to understand your dog’s unique struggles and be able to fix those.
4.
You’ll find it effortless to grasp the concepts and structure your own routine based on what your dog needs most.

We'll surround you with a powerful group of dog trainers and owners who know EXACTLY what to do if you ever feel stuck. You're going to get access to our private, members-only, group where you can get support and guidance.
Training dogs is a meticulous process that is often very dependent on good timing and being able to read your dog’s body language.
Fear not, we’re here to help you with that! You can learn to spot mistakes, read dog body language, and be able to better picture how to carry out a certain exercise by watching our training sessions and learning from our video commentaries.
Learning is a two-way street. We will not just be passing down information but will also be giving you little homework tasks that you can complete to better understand the material at hand, get to know your dog AND understand how the theory applies to them.
We have dedicated years of our lives to acquiring this knowledge. We’ve honed our skills through hands-on experience in our in-person classes, competitive sports events, workshops, and seminars.
Our commitment to staying at the forefront of training methods is evident in our collaboration with esteemed experts like Dogs4motion Academy.
Our methods are not only up-to-date but also proven effective through real-world application, on a wide range of many different breeds.
Chasing the Tale’s ideology is that dogs can be much more than just pets if only we nurture their true potential with consistent, enjoyable, and clear training.
By ‘more than just a pet’ we mean that your dog can be your friend, your family member, your loyal companion, and more. We believe that dogs can make our everyday lives more fun and fulfilling with their happy attitude and contagious outlook on life.
Chasing the Tale is about creating stories with your dog and it is about adventure!
That being said, we should never forget what sparks the fire in our dogs! Always look at the dog in front of you and adapt your adventures to their specific needs and wants.
The goal is for everyone to enjoy themselves, together! The adventure need not be grand, as long as you make it your own – even if that means relaxing on the sofa and watching Netflix, going to a drive-in movie theatre, grabbing a coffee in the city or taking a refreshing swim in the lake.
All in all, the mission of Chasing the Tale is to encourage more dog owners to take their dogs with them on their adventures – and most importantly, show them how easy it can be with a well-mannered dog! With all of this in mind, Chasing the Tale Academy was born.
We’re so confident that you’ll start enjoying the walks with your dog again that we’re willing to back up your purchase with a 100% money-back guarantee.
If you don’t feel that the Loose-Leashed has helped you, we’ll refund every cent you paid – no questions asked.
By doing so they help us dog owners understand our dogs more and thus allow us to find solutions on our own when encountering other
problems.
Tjaša Tišler & Brownie
We found that many courses and videos out there focus on the leash, which is not the way to go. Teaching leash walking starts by showing your dog what is expected of them. Leash pressure is not a very clear criterion, so we prefer to start by teaching dogs the correct position by your side. And guess what? No leash is required for that!
Pulling on leash never starts because your dog enjoys the feeling of pressure on their neck or chest. It starts because of an underlying emotion or desire. Get to that root cause with the first level of our pyramid and start resolving things from there. We promise teaching leash walking will be a lot easier from there on out.
We don’t just teach you how to avoid the problem with this course. No, we teach you how to resolve the problem AND maintain the solution. Leading to lasting change and satisfied owners and dogs.
No Age Limit!
You can work through all of these exercises with your brand-new puppy. In fact, we would recommend doing so, to give your dog the right foundations from the start. But don’t worry … You can teach new behaviors or improve existing ones even with older dogs.
Participating in this course has deepened my understanding of the impact that arousal, excitement, and the environment have on maintaining the loose-leashed walks. With the help of the exercises presented, I have been able to apply this knowledge and build more consistency with loose-leashed walks, which helps with both training and sports competitions. Thanks to our partners at Chasing The Tale for offering this awesome course; it has truly set even my youngest boy, Tide, up for success!

No. But don’t worry if you have taught your dog some basic loose-leashed behaviors already, we will show you how to upgrade them into the most enjoyable walks you can imagine.
Fret not, we have your back with this one. Although this is a self-study program you can always opt in for one one-on-one personal feedback with the instructors. Choose the working spot option.
You and your dog are not the only ones! If you don’t have reliable loose leash walking, it is most likely because you either didn’t dedicate enough time to building solid foundations or your dog’s emotional state is in the way. Don’t worry, we have just the right tips, lessons, and tricks to help you work through that.
But if, after purchase, you feel that this course is not for you – you can always ask to get your money back and we will refund you, no questions asked.
No. Your dog is not a helpless case. We always believe that by recognising the type of problem you are working with, understanding the dog in front of you and addressing the root causes of the problem you will be able to make lasting change. And that is exactly what this course is here to do.
Don’t worry, we’ve thought of dogs like yours. That’s why the very base of our pyramid of success focuses on building food drive, a passion for teamwork and helping your dog feel calm and capable in different environments first – before even getting onto the real training. We also share a method first introduced by the dog trainer Denise Fenzi called the circle method which is dedicated to all the dogs who cannot hold their focus outside and are incapable of eating when out and about.
This is a common problem. New environments and distractions offer a different set of challenges, so this is normal. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything about it. This course will help you and your dog succeed with loose leash walking – in all kinds of situations.
Absolutely! With the Loose Leashed course, you will have lifetime access. This means you can revisit the course, reinforce your understanding, and start with new dogs whenever you desire in the future.
One of our delighted Academy members has already completed one of the courses four times within the six-week workout period. She has reported that her dog has become incredibly strong and muscular. She feels more confident in her agility training, enjoying the satisfaction of giving her dog the utmost care and support.
Yes. The access to the content platform is lifetime, and it is very easy to use and navigate. Additionally, PDFs of the Weekly Workout content are available for download.
Currently, the course is only available in English, but it does come with English subtitles. However, we do plan on translating the subtitles into other languages in the future, so please follow us for updates.
The video material is not downloadable, but the PDFs are. However, access to the online classroom is lifetime and the content platform can be reached very easily from any device (phone, tablet, or computer), and is very simple to use.
So what are you waiting for?
You can continue sulking and give into a life of unenjoyable walks OR put in the work and strengthen the relationship you have with your dog on a leash.
Join us now and start enjoying your time spent outside with your dog!
