Why We Leash and Collar Train All Dogs Here at DTC Dog Training:

1. Required by law in all 50 US states and most other countries.
2. It is the first line of physical communication from human to dog regardless of age, breed or elected purpose.
3. The leash tethers the dog to the trainer for an active learning experience.
4. The leash is a cue to both you and your dog that you are a single unit and must cooperate with each other to avoid tension and conflict.
5. To achieve a task while tethered together a set of skills is developed.
6. Leash cues are a learned skill set that demonstrates the team is worthy of working together to build social training that leads to more.
7. Line work with a dog is champion level showmanship of a trained dog handler or trainer.
8. Line acceptance with a dog is the first cue in dog training 101.
9. A dog that is finished with leash training is line broke.
10. Line broke animals are prospects for training the animals to better serve people as domestic trained partners.
11. Leash broke dogs do not create tension on the line while working with their humans.
12. Leash trained dog handlers and trainers silently cue the dog with the line to tell them how to navigate an environment or social situation safely together.

All dogs regardless of age, breed, sex and purpose require a human to leash break them before any other training can be developed.  Leash laws for domestic dogs in all 50 states plus most other countries undoubtedly does not discriminate on this fact.  To achieve a harmonious social outing, we at DTC Dog Training leash and collar train all dog teams how to use a leash and collar to cue your dog silently for social and environmental navigation in our civilized world.
