You’re not alone! This is one of the most common issues we deal with. Whether your dog is just overexcited to greet others, anxious and trying to warn others away, or preying on wildlife, we have a practical solution that fits your dog and situation.

Leash Reactivity Package

This is a 3 lesson package that takes place wherever you’re having issues, usually starting at your home/neighborhood.

★ 1st Lesson: During this lesson we focus on identifying the root cause of your dogs behavior, define steps to help your dog feel more relaxed while on leash and start practicing. Sometimes this is all dogs need and you can choose to only purchase one lesson. But if you aren’t feeling confident on your own, you can continue.

★ 2nd Lesson: During this lesson, the trainer brings his personal dogs to help yours! Applying what we learned from the first lesson, we challenge you and your dog to exercise calmness when walking near, past, or alongside other calm, well-trained dogs. If your dog is nervous, the other calm dogs help give them confidence. If your dog is preying, it creates social pressure to go along with the pack rather than act out.

★ 3rd Lesson: During this lesson we meet where we know your dog will encounter plenty of other dogs or prey. Your dog will feel confident when you feel confident, and we normalize the presence of other dogs or prey and reward them with security, treats, or positive social engagement.

Leash Reactivity Workshop

This hands-on, group workshop helps your dog learn to meet other dogs and common outdoor triggers while on leash, and teaches you how to keep your dog calm and confident in situations you encounter on everyday walks. You and your dog will work together in real-world practice scenarios, guided step-by-step by an experienced trainer who provides expert feedback and coaching as you go.

Rather than strictly talking about concepts, this session emphasizes active practice with your dog on leash: you’ll learn how to address barking, lunging, fearful bolting, and over-excitement, replace those behaviors with calm alternatives, and reinforce positive responses in the presence of distractions. The trainer will help you refine timing, body language, and reinforcement so you can apply these skills outside of class on your own walks.

By the end of the workshop, you and your dog will have practical strategies and real-world experience for navigating triggers, increasing your dog’s confidence, and making walks more enjoyable and under control for both of you.

Price: $60 per dog

Ronald ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Blue leash dog training, made the complicated problem, uncomplicated. I was having trouble walking my Labrador without him barking at every dog he saw along the way. Having a big dog with a very deep bark seems to grab everyone’s attention while out for a walk. Amit, was able to explain why my dog Kai was experiencing anxiety. I now able to say that Kai was able to walk side by side to another dog, without any anxiety or reactivity.”
Lisa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Selecting a dog trainer was a more difficult process than what I anticipated, and I am so glad I found Amit/Blue Leash Dog Training. From the very beginning, Amit was extremely honest & never tried to upsell any services. His method/approach is very effective & direct, and he is able to address exactly what you need. After just a few quick pointers during our initial meeting, i was able to walk my recently rescued dog calmly, without him going crazy or trying to attack other dogs. Previously I thought this would take months to accomplish. Would highly recommend!!”
Rachel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My dog and I took the Leash Reactivity Course and even though my dog is almost 10 years old we learned new and extremely valuable solutions! Amit knows the psychology of dogs so well and even after just a couple of days this guidance is already proving effective. I highly recommend any and all of the Blue Leash Dog Training classes!”
Tristan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Amit exceeded all my expectations with his professional and compassionate approach. The trainer's expertise and dedication transformed my dog's behavior, making our walks a joy. I highly recommend Blue Leash Dog Training to anyone seeking remarkable results and a happy, well-behaved pet.”
Ed & Charlie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Blue Leash is by far the best training vendor in San Diego County. We are pleased that we were lucky enough to find them and their trainer Amit. Our dog Charlie is a young and energetic German Shepard that needed guidance and proper training. Through Amit’s patience, knowledge and expertise Charlie is now an obedient, manageable, and adorable part of our family capable of being around people and other pets without being disturbed by their presence as well as properly conducting himself inside the house and the back yard. We will continue to attend further classes and recommend Amit to our friends and family.”
Eric & Elly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Amit is an amazing trainer. I had no idea what I was doing with my first pup Elly. When Amit came over for our first private lesson Elly’s behavior changed almost instantly and she’s so much more well behaved. Amit’s always open to questions and explains things in an easy to understand way. Really looking forward to continue working with Amit in Advanced Obedience and Agility! Highly recommend!”
Amy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Amit and Blue Leash Dog Training helped us to communicate and understand our puppy. When we found Blue Leash Dog Training we were, low on sleep and covered in scratches from 10 week old "maligator" who we adored. Working with Amit has greatly improved our relationship with our dog. Knowing what our pup needs, and how to clearly ask for what we need from him has made us better puppy parents. Blue Leash Dog Training has not only helped us to train obedience but also helped us grow as a family. Thanks so much Amit!”
Janet & Coco ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The absolute best, I thought no way my puppy could ever do all this, but she can and she did!!! The class was grate some puppies and some rescues dogs all trying to learn the basics. Most of the learning was on teaching us the owners and I’m so happy I attended, I’m looking forward to the advanced classes, thank you Amit!!!”
Keith ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Brand new puppy was running wild making it hard to work or do anything. Watched a bunch of youtube videos on dog training but nothing really was working. After one personal session I know how to calm him down and set boundaries, as well as get him to stay in his crate. What's more he's already seemed to have absorbed that hour long training and is already more mellow. Well worth the money would highly recommend.”

Free Pack Walks

Joining our pack walks is a practical next step to help your dog maintain and strengthen the skills you learn. Pack walks provide controlled, real-world exposure to other dogs, allowing your dog to practice calm, neutral behavior without the pressure of direct interaction.

This regular, predictable exposure helps normalize the presence of other dogs, reduces the likelihood of setbacks, and reinforces the habits you’ve already built. Consistency is key! Ongoing practice in a structured environment makes calm walking the default, not just something your dog can do occasionally or when the distractions are minimal.

Best of all, the walks are routine and free! Some people even decide to start with the pack walk when they already know their dog is all bark and no bite, or just use the opportunity to meet the trainer for the first time and see if you feel good about the way he works before investing further.
