4 WEEKS & 1 GAME TO A REALLY NICE WALK
For dogs who pull, lunge, ignore you, or turn every walk into a public performance. We’ll use simple, fun training games to build attention, leash skills, recall, stay, and real-world reliability — without turning your life into a six-month dog training project.
“My dog is perfect except they lose their mind on walks.”
That’s one of the most common things owners say. And even when the walk problem is connected to bigger training gaps, the leash is often where those gaps become impossible to ignore. Fix the Walk gives you a focused place to start.
Build attention around dogs, people, bikes, squirrels, and real-life chaos. You’ll get direct feedback on your dog, not generic advice pulled from someone else’s training.
Two different programs. Two different owners. Here's the honest difference.
| Question | FIX THE WALK | DIGITAL DOG SCHOOL |
|---|---|---|
| What problem is this solving? | Walks are the whole problem. Everything else about your dog is mostly fine. | Your dog jumps, pulls, ignores you, or comes unglued when the world gets loud. You want the foundation that fixes those problems from the ground up — not another quick trick. |
| How much time each week? | 20 min/day for 4 weeks. Live class cadence. | 20 min/day at your own pace. No calendar pressure. |
| Is Joel watching my dog specifically? | Yes - live weekly coaching calls plus video reviews of clips you submit. | No - self-paced. You submit clips inside the community if you want feedback. |
If walks are the whole problem, Fix the Walk. If you want the foundation and time to move at your own pace, Digital Dog School.
Four weeks of structured live coaching, plus a follow-up Q&A one month later so the work sticks after real life gets loud again.
Stop leash pulling now — kindly. We start at the door and teach you how to gain and keep your dog's attention, then move right into teaching your dog how to walk on a leash by making it a game.
Getting it right pays well. Come, stay, and locking in the foundation. You upload videos of your dog and bring your questions to the live Q&A. Joel gives feedback on your specific dog, not a hypothetical one.
Distractions, triggers, and what to do if you need a little more umph. This is where the walks start feeling different — and where you learn how to handle the moments that used to unravel you.
Travel mode, a reliable recall, and getting rid of the problem for good. Real streets, real triggers, real reliability. You leave with a walk you can actually enjoy.
Five structured live lessons across four weeks. No pre-recorded course fluff — you’re learning with the group.
Submit training clips of your dog. Get direct, personalized feedback on what to change next.
Ask what you actually need to ask — on your dog, not a hypothetical one. Plus a final follow-up Q&A one month after class.
Foundation, prep, and a lifetime reference library you can come back to when your dog, your life, or your questions change.
A full money-back guarantee for owners who do the work. Dogs don’t get trained if you don’t do the training.
Digital Dog School is a $147 program on its own. It’s included with Fix the Walk. Fix the Walk gives you the focused sprint. Digital Dog School gives you the foundation, the prep, and a lifetime reference library to come back to when your dog, your life, or your questions change.
Both. Together.
A calmer pass-by is the result the sprint is built for: your dog noticing the world without the leash becoming a fight.Real training clip
“Learned to walk past scary situations using treat toss and the play method.”Brittany Hicks · Indi
“She went from not being able to walk past other dogs to being able to roll in the grass while other dogs walked past her.”Daniella Camen · TikTok comment
Walk problems look different from the outside, but they usually come from the same few gaps: attention, arousal, leash skills, recall, stay, and trust outside.
Your dog has learned that the leash is the gas pedal. Outside is exciting, and checking in with you has not paid enough yet.
We start with attention and leash games so your dog learns that moving with you is how good things happen, instead of dragging you to them.
Megan Wolf says Joel helped her become more important than the challenging world and build a game plan for hard behaviors, all virtually.
Your dog is getting pushed over threshold, then rehearsing the same loud pattern at the end of the leash. The more it works, the faster it appears.
We start by stopping you from practicing the problem, because repeating the same pattern over and over usually makes it worse.
Then we teach your dog what to do in a calmer place, so you can build a plan and a skill set together before trying to solve it in the hardest environment.
From there, you get specific instructions for what to do when it goes well, what to do when it goes wrong, and how to keep finding success in real life again and again.
Bowser’s owner described a genetically strong, aggressive dog who became happier and better on the leash after working with Joel.
Your dog is not blowing you off on purpose. The outside world is simply winning the attention contest before you have a reliable way back in.
Attention is not built on the walk.
First, we teach you how to gain and keep your dog’s attention. Then we teach your dog what to do once they are actually ready to learn.
Trying to build attention and teach the skill at the same time is where a lot of people get stuck.
Oakley’s owner says the approach was not harsh or dominance-based, and that her reactive dog began walking well around dogs and people.
Your dog may be scanning for scary things and running out of coping skills. When trust is thin outside, even normal walk stuff can feel huge.
Joel coaches you on the foundation under the walk: how to build trust, make choices clearer, and help your dog feel safer before asking for more.
“It looked like the weight of the world on her shoulders concerning Luna prior to your meeting last night. She has a renewed vigour now about Luna and it’s amazing to see.”
Dean, Luna’s dad, sent this after Joel talked through Luna’s training plan with Deb.
You are not lazy or dramatic. You have learned to avoid a situation where your dog struggles, people stare, and you come home cooked.
The sprint turns the walk back into a plan: what to do before you leave, what to practice outside, and how to recover when real life gets loud.
Emmylou handled carts, kids, big scary men carrying stuff, other dogs, and a busy Tractor Supply outing without one meltdown.
This cohort is limited to 15 dogs because Joel is reviewing real training clips and coaching owners live.
A single private session with a qualified trainer often runs $150-$200 — and one session almost never gets the job done.
Full board-and-train programs often cost $4,000, $5,000, or even $8,000 — and the dog still has to come home to you.
Four weeks of live coaching, video reviews, Q&As, a follow-up session, and Digital Dog School included.
Plan on 20 minutes a day, most days of the week. Some days will be a full session on your street. Some days will be a 5-minute drill in the driveway before work. Some days you'll just watch the week's lesson while you eat lunch.
If you can only give this 5 minutes a week, this isn't the right program. The dogs who transform in 4 weeks belong to owners who show up almost every day, even for a little.
The good news: your dog doesn't need a two-hour training session. Your dog needs you, consistently, for four weeks.
Fix the Walk comes with a full moneyback guarantee. If you do the work and it doesn't help your dog, you get your money back. Here's what "the work" means:
“Dogs don’t get trained if you don’t do the training.”
Fix the Walk is not the best first step if your dog has serious bite history, has injured someone, or you cannot safely handle them outside. In that case, start with a consult instead.
Four weeks of live coaching. Digital Dog School included. A guarantee that respects your effort. Class starts Monday, July 27.
