INVISIBLE LEASH® Level 1 Program
Our award winning INVISIBLE LEASH® Level 1 Program is the first step of an innovative dog training system developed by Eric Letendre after over thirty years in the trenches – training dogs day after day, week after week, year after year.
Our Level 1 Program is the start of all our training for dogs five months and older. It combines both private instruction and group classes so you and your dog get the best of both worlds – personalized, one-one-one training and the benefits of the mild distractions that a group setting offers!
The best dog training school in New England will help your dog transform into an beloved family member through our specialized INVISIBLE LEASH® Dog Training System.
If your dog is younger than five months – please see our P.E.T.S. Puppy Program
The 4 Key Elements of our Level 1 Program
-
ELIMINATE PROBLEM BEHAVIOR
Before training can happen, behavior problems must be stopped. You can’t train a dog to sit if he is jumping on you. In our Level 1 Program, you’ll learn how to easily and effectively stop unwanted behaviors.
-
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Your dog will learn the commands necessary to live in harmony with you. This is achieved through proper communication. You and your dog must understand the same language for effective obedience training. We’ll show you how.
-
LEADERSHIP
Dogs are social animals that understand structure and status and need to learn you are the leader of the household. Without a strong leader, they may become aggressive, anxious, and not respond to commands. You will learn simple, effective ways to teach your dog you are the leader.
-
PREPARATION (FOR OFF LEASH)
The endgame is off leash control. You want your dog to not jump on visitors on or off leash. You want your dog to come back when called on or off leash. We start preparing your dog to respond without the leash.
INVISIBLE LEASH® Level 1 Program Details
The INVISIBLE LEASH® Level 1 Program starts with a private training session where you and your dog will meet one-on-one with the trainer at our facility.
In the first Private Lesson you and your dog will learn:
- Proper and effective management techniques
- How to structure the relationship so that your dog looks to you as the leader
- A four-word communication system
- How to stop any unwanted behavior – FAST!
That is followed by four small half-hour group classes (once/week). The classes are offered on a continuous rotation and it doesn’t matter which class you start on. They are not dependent on the previous class. If you need to miss a week due to illness, vacation, vet appointment, etc. you will just pick up that class the next time it cycles through. We also understand schedules can be complicated so you do not need to attend the same day/time each week. Pick the classes that fit your schedule. For your convenience, we have Level 1 Classes at the following times: Mondays at 10:45am, Tuesdays at 5:45pm and 6:30pm, Wednesdays at 5:00pm, and Saturdays at 10:45am and 11:30am.
During the four Small Group Classes, you and your dog will learn:
- How to easily and reliably teach your dog the stationary commands: sit, down, and stand
- How to come back when called, even in distracting situations
- How to walk politely by your side whether it’s a country lane or a busy city street
- How to settle on command and “go to place” – for many this is the most useful command of all
- How to develop a rock solid stay
- How to reinforce good manners and how to prevent future behavior problems
Your success is important to us and we know that problems may crop up from time to time. This is why we offer a free follow up class when necessary (held Saturdays at 1:00pm). You’ll also have access 24/7 to our online Level 1 digital course to help reinforce what you have learned in the live training sessions and to answer any questions.
BONUSES:

- Free access to the INVISIBLE LEASH® Level 1 online course while enrolled in the program

FAQ's
We understand! That’s why the first session is a private lesson. At that time we are able to evaluate and fix your dog’s reactivity so that he/she can be successful in a group setting.
Most likely, yes! There is so much more to our INVISIBLE LEASH Dog Training System than just a few stationary commands. If however at during the first private session we determine your dog is more advanced, we can easily move on to the next level.
Our group classes are small and all problem behaviors are addressed before entering the group environment so most likely, no. The group setting will help your dog gain confidence in social settings.
Getting Started Is Easy
Because our enrollment is ongoing – you don’t need to wait for a new class to start. You can schedule the first private session at a date and time that is convenient for you.
