Lessons from Winston: leash walking
Winston was a rescue bullmastiff mix from the Animal Welfare League Hawkesbury Valley Branch. My inspiration to learn how to train dogs, the reason we moved to this property, my teacher, my partner and my bubba-boy. Handsome until the very end. . Our lives revolved around him for 13 years. He passed peacefully at home on Saturday 17th April 2021 at approximately midday.

Winston was all about the walks. It didn’t take long for him to start pulling me down the street, straining to get to the next sniffy-spot. It was classic opposition reflex, plus it worked to move me.

shout out to Josh Moran, Chad Mackin & Tyler Muto for showing me the subtle art of leash work; my style is adapted from what they taught me. Thank you.
