Description
Using the Q-Walker might be one of the best decisions that a responsible dog owner or handler could make. It allows them to both know and control where the dog is at all times. The Q-Walker also allows for more use of owner/handler’s hands.
Do you have an injury or condition that restricts the use of your arms, wrists or hands? The Q-Walker will make it easier to have control over your dog during those much-needed walks.
The Benefits of the Q-Walker extend to a variety of important applications, including:
Competition Dogs-
- Boredom from too many repetitions & too much practice results in reluctant, inconsistent heeling & positioning. The Q-Walker used correctly along with guides & a unique command, prevents the dog from pulling, lagging and forging from ever getting started.
- You are able to clearly communicate your expectations to the dog. Because the training is hands free, there is no inconsistency, and your dog will be better trained/retrained in half the time.
- Because you are being honest by not pretending to hold food or not always ready to correct him, you will be able to move in a more natural posture and both of you will have more fun and enjoy the time you spend training.
- Teaching the dog to do a swing finish is so easy.
Companion Dogs-
- Teaches your dog to walk calmly by your side.
- Your hands are free while shopping & walking.
- You are able to visit with others and there is no danger of your dog wandering away
- By teaching your dog that he is never to potty or mark while attached to the Q-Walker, then giving him permission to potty once you attach him to a longer line, there will never be embarrassing mistakes
- While in the vet’s office, your dog will not interact with other dogs who may be contagious.
- Walking two dogs together is easy when one is attached to the Q-Walker and the other is on a lead. By alternating, both dogs are able to be worked individually while walking together.
- Once properly conditioned, you will never again be embarrassed by any bad behaviors.
Service Dogs-
- Using the Q-Walker will prevent accidental dropping of the lead if the handler is arthritic, has tremors or is unfair or inconsistent when holding the lead. Such handling prevents the dog from doing tasks he was trained to do.
- For the seeing or hearing impaired, those with mobility problems, lacking confidence, social anxiety, in need of emotional support and even those with minor dementia the Q-Walker frees the dog to make decisions and do the tasks you need him to do.
- Commonly, a dog loses the sharpness of his training unless the handler continues working the skills. Using the Q-Walker automatically reinforces the sharpness of the original training with each outing.
- When you go out to eat, attached to the Q-Walker the dog is able to relax under a table and the person’s hands are free, control remains intact, and you’ll enjoy your meal.
- Trips to a restroom or other tight areas while the dog is attached to the Q-Walker are much easier to manage and maneuver.
- The dog is much easier to manage when working with or approaching other dogs.
Puppies-
- By introducing puppies (at about 4 months of age) to a short 5 – 10 minute session a few days each week and using a unique command associated only with walking attached to the Q-Walker, teaches the concept.
- That is long enough and then allow the puppy to go back to playing. By the time the puppy matures closer to 7 – 10 months old, IF you have taught it right, you will have a puppy that understands that he has permission to play & EXCEPT when attached to the Q-Walker.
- You must insist but with consistency, you will end up with a dog you are able to take anywhere and never struggle.
