What Is Drive the Dog Bus
90 Day Guided Coaching?
Drive the Dog Bus Guided is Julie’s premium 90-day coaching program for dog owners who want more than a self-paced course.
You’ll get full access to the complete Loose Leash Walking Master Course, plus weekly virtual coaching with Julie to help you apply the lessons, troubleshoot challenges, and build a calmer, more connected walking relationship with your dog.
This is for owners who want expert support, accountability, and a clear plan every step of the way.
It's exhausting to feel like you're constantly guessing how your dog is feeling.
What do they want?
Why are they pulling?
Why won't they listen?
“I just want to walk calmly with them and show them how much I love them!”
Drive the Dog Bus is a comprehensive, self-paced force-free program that teaches you exactly how to train your dog to walk calmly and politely on a loose leash using only reward-based methods.
You’ll follow a clear, progressive curriculum with short video lessons, practical games, troubleshooting guides, and real-dog demonstrations.
Whether your dog is a strong puller, reactive, fearful, or just needs better manners, this course gives you everything you need for lasting, stress-free walks.
Tired of being dragged down the street?
