Walking Shouldn’t Be a Drag
The SideWalker® Leash Trainer is a gentle and reliable way to create a more enjoyable on-leash experience for you and your dog. More walking, less pulling, and more time together side-by-side.
Collar Features
5 Adjustable Settings
The 5 adjustable settings include a vibration setting, 3 stimulation settings, and a Progressive setting that begins with vibration and gradually progresses from Low to High if the dog continues to pull.
Progressive Levels
When the dog pulls, the level of the vibration or stimulation (for that setting) gradually increases. When the dog stops pulling, the SideWalker resets to the lowest level for that setting.

Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Mike at Dog Watch. Explaining the whole process, installation was easy and non disruptive and the training was great. It’s also comforting to know Mike is available for any questions or issues going forward. So far so good and our pup Benny is doing great learning his new space.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome experience with Mike! He is very punctual and accommodating. We had a tricky spot in our backyard and he was able to get the fence through with no issues. We needed an additional collar and he was able to bring it out to us the very next day.

Mike was professional, friendly, on time to all of our scheduled appointments. Highly recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a high drive bird dog that had escaped and struggled to get her to stay within our boundaries. Once our dogwatch fence was installed we have a different dog. She is calmer, happier, and our stress levels working about her running off are gone. Install was quick, professional, and the pricing was great.

You Asked, We Answered
The SideWalker is used to train dogs to walk on a leash without pulling and to reinforce appropriate leash walking behavior.
A sensor under the collar strap on the SideWalker is triggered by pressure when the dog pulls on the leash (or when you pull the leash to direct the dog into the desired position.) When the sensor is activated, the dog receives either a vibration or a stimulation. The SideWalker should be set to a level that is just enough to distract the dog from the pulling behavior. Most dogs learn quickly that the sensation stops when the pulling stops.
Several variables affect how quickly your dog’s behavior will change, most notably the personality of your dog and the environment in which you are training the dog. Most dogs begin to understand the relationship between pulling and the vibration/stimulation after several activations of the collar. The pulling behavior diminishes quickly in some dogs and more gradually in others. If there is no noticeable change in pulling behavior after a reasonable trial period, check the collar to make sure the fit is good and the contact posts are the correct size. If collar fit is appropriate and the dog continues to pull, the SideWalker setting should be increased one level.
The SideWalker is safe and effective on dogs as small as 6 pounds.
We recommend waiting until the dog is 4-6 months old.
The components in the SideWalker are specified to operate from minus 25 degrees (F) to 125 degrees (F). A significant and rapid change in temperature may temporarily disrupt some of the SideWalker functions until the device adjusts to the new temperature level.
