Struggling with a dog who pulls, lunges, or reacts on walks?
It is more than tiring. It can feel embarrassing, frustrating, and even isolating. Many owners tell me they avoid walks altogether or dread leaving the house because every outing feels like a challenge.
You are not failing and your dog is not broken. You just need calm, practical support that helps both of you feel more confident and in control without force or quick fixes
Assisted Lead Walks With Jennie
These sessions are more than just walks. They are guided training experiences where you and your dog learn together in real-life situations. Whether your dog pulls, lunges, or reacts to triggers, I provide calm, practical coaching every step of the way.
As part of your session, I also include loose lead walking help in Essex, showing you how to manage pulling without frustration and how to build a calmer, more controlled walking experience.
You will learn:
✔ How to handle pulling and lunging without force or frustration
✔ Ways to build your dog’s confidence and reduce stress on walks
✔ How to spot early signs of anxiety or tension so you can prevent problems before they happen
This is not about quick fixes. It is about building long-term understanding and trust between you and your dog. Together, we will make walks feel calmer, safer, and more enjoyable for both of you

Testimonial
Jennie helped me understand my dog’s fear-based reactivity and gave me the confidence to handle it. Her support changed everything, no stress, just progress.

Testimonial
Really lovely girl who knew her stuff. Managed to get my very difficult puppy walking on a lead on first attempt. Definitely recommend
Tiff from Stow Maries

Jennie helped us with our rescue Border Collie, offering great advice that our dog responded well to. After a walk, our dog’s lead walking improved, and she followed up with a helpful email. Highly recommend!”

Frequently Asked Questions
What problems can you help with during lead walks?
I help with pulling, barking or lunging at dogs/people/traffic, over-arousal at the door, stopping/refusing to move, and busy-street overwhelm. Each session is tailored to you and your dog and we put simple steps in place you can follow on every walk.
Do I need special equipment?
Just a comfortable front‑clip harness and a 2‑metre fixed lead. Please avoid retractable leads and aversive tools. Bring pea‑sized treats (or your dog’s favourite food) and a treat pouch if you have one.
What if my dog is very reactive?
That’s OK. We can start indoors to read the cues and practise door/threshold routines, then work on the pavement at a distance where your dog can stay under threshold. If it’s not the right day to go out, we won’t—safety and learning first.
Will you walk my dog without me?
Basic Assisted Lead Walk can be a meet‑and‑go walk. For the Behaviour Lead Assessment and Premium options, I work with you so you can learn the skills and steps to use day‑to‑day.
Do you help nervous or rescue dogs?
Yes. We go at your dog’s pace, choose quieter routes, use plenty of decompression and sniffing, and build confidence through small wins. The plan is tailored to you and your dog.
Can I book more than one session?
Absolutely. You can add a follow‑up Assisted Lead Walk anytime. The Premium Behaviour Package already includes a second coached walk to help generalise the new skills.
Do you offer loose lead walking help in Essex?
Yes. I’m based in South Woodham Ferrers and serve Essex, including Chelmsford and nearby communities.
