Loose Lead Training with your
Doodle

The art of teaching your doodle to walk on a loose lead.

Do your walks feel like you're playing tug of war with your dog?

 Do you get dragged all over the place, towed from here to there at your dogs pleasure!?  

Would you like to walk in harmony with your dog, as a team?  Would you like your dog to learn to  focus and engage with you? 

This short course is for you!

About this course

In this short course, you will learn the foundational skills needed to create calm, connected walks where your doodle can focus, engage, and move with you rather than against you.

Using kind, ethical, and effective methods, I will guide you step by step to build clarity, cooperation, and a more harmonious relationship on the lead.

If your dog is pulling on the lead due to reactivity, including over excitement, fear or other factors, please check out my Reactive to Relaxed course which covers loose lead walking skills alongside other essential reactivity topics here.

Always in safe hands

My Name is Victoria Cooper, and I am a Certified Behaviourist.

My passion for dog training and behaviour began in childhood and has developed into over 30 years of professional study and hands-on experience. Since starting formal training in 1994, I have gained extensive qualifications and specialist expertise, allowing me to break down complex behaviour issues into clear, practical guidance you can apply confidently at home.

As a course tutor, I am committed to delivering accurate, evidence-based education. I continually invest in my professional development through seminars and advanced courses, ensuring that everything I teach reflects current best practice in dog behaviour and training. This means you’re learning proven, up-to-date methods from someone who not only understands the theory, but has spent decades applying it successfully with real dogs and real owners.

Compassionate, Ethical, Kind

My approach to your dog’s behaviour is to act as a guide and interpreter to help you to understand why your dog is exhibiting challenging behaviours and then teach and support you in changing your dog’s behaviour. My aim is to guide you in building a trusting harmonious relationship with your dog using positive, ethical, and compassionate methods.

What if it's not just the lead?

Most owners who come to me about pulling aren't only dealing with pulling.  

It's the barking at every dog across the field.
The jumping up at visitors.
The growl over a stolen sock.
The wrestling match every time the brush comes out.
The recall that worked perfectly until they hit eight months old.  

This course will give you calm, connected walks.

But it won't touch any of that and if you're nodding along to more than one item on that list, you need something ongoing rather than something one-off.  

That's what The Doodle Dog Academy is for.  

It's a monthly membership built specifically for Cockapoo and Doodle owners:  A live webinar every month on one key topic, covered properly, reactivity, resource guarding, adolescence, grooming, separation, barking and more Live Q&A sessions where you can ask about your own dog and your own situation.

Training videos, guides and PDFs to work through at home

Discounted access to my courses and 1-to-1 sessions, including this one  Everything is recorded, so nothing is missed if you can't attend live.  

The Academy launches in September, with founding members paying £14.99 a month and keeping that rate for as long as they stay.
