The “20 Second Walk” is a 3 day course that will teach you how to create, read and use multiple experiments with any dog only using a leash.

This class focuses on fundamentals of communication between you and a dog, whether or not it is your lifelong dog, or a dog you were just handed the leash.

You will learn very nuanced and subtle signals from the dog, and be able to read, respond and get agreement within a very short amount of time.

This course is a hands-on learning experience, with some class time, and video analysis, along with group sessions learning to read subtleties of both humans and dogs.

There isn’t a more important skill and knowledge base to learn in order to understand and reach “that” dog. Even if it is your own dog, you will learn a vast amount about you and your dog.

The “20 second walk” isn’t just about the first 20 seconds. It is about using the methodology 100% of the time, in order to constantly communicate and read the communication from the dog, in real time. Microseconds count. This is the course you have wanted to know “how” does Nelson do that!!

An in person class at the CHRI Center in Blue Ridge, Texas. It is coupled with the 3 day Art of Leash Handling (AOLH) course (prior to 20 Second Walk).

Pre-requisite for taking this course is AOLH.
