We start indoors—away from the chaos of traffic and street dogs—to teach your dog the rhythm of a slack leash. By the time we hit the street, your dog already understands that checking in with you is far more rewarding than dragging you along. ### The Indoor-First Approach Leash training isn't just about the walk itself; it is about the relationship you have with your dog. When your dog lunges or pulls, they are often over-threshold, and trying to correct that in the middle of a busy street is incredibly stressful for them. My process, which I have refined with my own Indie, Mishti, starts with building focus inside your home. We use reward-based methods to teach 'check-ins'—where your dog looks at you for guidance—before we even step out the door. We practice impulse control exercises like 'Settle' and 'Look at That' until they become muscle memory. ### Managing Reactivity If your dog struggles with reactivity towards other dogs or people, we do not force confrontation. We focus on management and desensitization. Whether it is handling street dogs in your locality or navigating noisy elevators, I help you understand your dog’s body language and how to create space safely. - **Indoor Foundation:** Mastering the slack leash and equipment handling at home first. - **Gradual Exposure:** Taking that training to the balcony, the lobby, and finally the street. - **Routine Building:** We review your specific triggers and build a walk routine that lowers your dog's cortisol levels. Training takes consistency, but you do not have to do it alone. Whether you are dealing with a puppy who hasn't learned to walk or an older dog with deep-rooted reactivity, we will move at your dog's pace to build a walk you can actually enjoy together. ## About TailSpin I'm the person behind TailSpin, and my Indie girl, Mishti, is the one who actually taught me everything I know. I do not believe in quick fixes or harsh tools; I believe in building a connection so strong that your dog chooses to listen to you, even when there's a distraction waiting around the corner.
