You’ve Mastered the Leash. Now, It’s Time for Real Freedom

WARNING: A leash is only a piece of nylon. If it drops out of your hand, snaps, or your dog slips out the front door, do you have absolute confidence they will stop on a dime and run back to you?

Let’s be honest: On-leash control is only half the battle.

FACT: "90% of dog owners are trapped at the end of a six-foot leash. Here is how you escape it…"

Here is a sobering statistic: Nine out of ten dog owners never train their dogs for off-leash freedom. They settle for 'good enough' on-leash manners and live in constant, quiet anxiety—always one slipped collar, one open gate, or one dropped leash away from a tragedy. Don't settle for an illusion of control.

True peace of mind doesn't exist until your dog listens to your voice just as reliably as they do a physical leash.

Level 2 of the Invisible Leash® system is engineered for one specific purpose: to safely and systematically transition your dog from on-leash obedience to absolute off-leash reliability, even around the most extreme real-world distractions.

The Danger of "Pretty Good" Obedience

Many owners stop after Level 1 because their dog is behaving "well enough." But "well enough" can turn into a tragedy in a split second.

  • The Danger: A gate gets left open, a squirrel darts across the street, or your dog gets loose at a park. Without off-leash verbal control, calling your dog becomes a frantic, dangerous game of chase.
  • The Freedom: Imagine walking your dog on a trail, letting them run free, knowing with 100% certainty that the second you say "Come," they will turn on a dime and sprint back to your side—no matter what.

That isn't just convenient. It is life-saving.

"The Only Trainer I Recommend"

"I run the Fairhaven animal shelter and I am the Fairhaven Animal Control Officer. Eric is the only trainer that I recommend. Trainers are a dime a dozen. Eric is the only one who I have seen results from. If you are in need of a dog trainer, you don't have to look any further than Eric Letendre." — Terry Cripps, Fairhaven Animal Control Officer

The Level 2 "Off-Leash Reliability" Blueprint

Because you and your dog already speak the Invisible Leash® language from Level 1, we don't start from scratch. We fast-track your progress through a highly structured, progressive system:

  • Step 1: Two Private "Off-Leash Prep" Sessions: We work one-on-one with you at our Westport facility to introduce advanced off-leash distance work, verbal-only feedback, and the 3 critical emergency commands every dog must know before going off-leash.
  • Step 2: Six Flex-Schedule Group Practice Classes: Take your dog's new skills into controlled, real-world distraction environments. Busy schedule? Don't worry. Skip a week if you need to, change your days, and progress entirely at your own pace.
  • Step 3: Distance and Distraction Mastery: Train your dog to respond to your voice from across a field, ignore tempting distractions (like running dogs or food), and hold long, reliable stays off-leash.

"Thank God for Eric Letendre!"

You don't have to take our word for how fast this system transforms daily life. Here is what happens when you install real communication:

"In one session, I had so many of my issues solved!"

"I forgot to write a review and I can't believe it! I tell everyone about Eric. He helped me understand my dog and how to communicate with him. In just one session, I had so many of my issues solved! My dog is totally different now. He listens to 'no', walks well on a leash, comes, doesn't jump, doesn't take food off the table, and his behavior is overall just more controlled.

Every time my father sees my dog, he says, 'I can't believe it. It's like a different dog.' I always look at my dog and say, 'Thank God for Eric Letendre' 😂 Best money ever spent!" — Catherine Bella
