Leash Control & Recall Training
March 7

The leash is one of the most powerful tools in your training toolkit — but only when used well. This month, certified dog trainer Jennifer Sharpe takes a deeper dive into leash communication and recall, two foundational skills that build trust, safety, and a more connected relationship between you and your dog.

When taught correctly, leash handling isn’t about restriction; it’s a language. Learning to guide your dog with clear, consistent pressure creates mutual understanding and sets respectful boundaries that carry over into every walk, trail, and new environment. Paired with recall training, you’ll begin to build confidence and education with your dog.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen skills you’ve already built, Jennifer meets you exactly where you are.

Guests Will Come Away With:

• A foundational understanding of leash pressure as communication
• Techniques for setting clear, consistent boundaries your dog can understand and respect
• A foundation of recall commands
• Practical skills that translate directly to real-world situations 
• Personalized guidance from Jennifer for your dog’s current training level
• Relationship building while gaining control when you need it the most

Stay Commands, Smart Rewards & Handler Focus
May 9

Distractions are everywhere….and that’s exactly where great training is put to the test. In May, certified dog trainer Jennifer Sharpe of K9 focuses on the skills that separate a well-trained dog from a truly reliable one: stay commands, strategic reward timing, and getting your dog to tune in to you no matter what’s going on around them.

Reward-based training is one of the most effective methods available, but knowing when to reward and how to maintain clear expectations and follow-through is what makes the difference. Jennifer teaches you how to use rewards as a tool for precision, not just praise, so your dog learns to stay focused, respond quickly, and look to you for direction even in high-distraction environments.

Whether you’re building these skills from the ground up or are ready to sharpen your timing and push for faster, more precise responses, Jennifer meets every handler and every breed exactly where they are.

Guests Will Come Away With:

• A deeper understanding of stay commands and how to build duration, distance, and distraction resistance
• Proven techniques for strategic reward timing that reinforce reliability without losing control
• Skills for capturing and keeping your dog’s attention in real-world, high-distraction settings
• A clear framework for follow-through — so your dog understands that every command counts
• Personalized guidance from Jennifer is designed to advance you to the next level, wherever you’re starting from
