SideWalker Leash Trainer
Walking Shouldn't Be A Drag.
The SideWalker® Leash Trainer provides a gentle training method to help create a more enjoyable on-leash experience for you and your dog. More walking, less pulling, and more time together side-by-side.

SideWalker Leash Trainer (SW-5 )
Overview
The SideWalker® creates a more enjoyable walking experience for you and your dog by gently correcting overly enthusiastic leash pulling. This helps your dog learn appropriate on-leash behavior. The ‘self-teaching’ design assists in reinforcing appropriate leash training and eliminating excessive pulling. The SideWalker has 5 adjustable settings from low to high plus a vibration option so you can select a setting appropriate for your dog. When the dog pulls on the leash, the pressure of the collar strap on the SideWalker activates either a vibration or a stimulation. The vibration or stimulation gradually increases as the dog pulls and resets when the pulling stops.

The SideWalker® Leash Trainer provides a gentle training method to help create a more enjoyable on-leash experience for you and your dog. More walking, less pulling, and more time together side-by-side.

Leash pulling can create a lot of tension, and not just in the leash. Loosen up with the SideWalker.

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.
Long-Lasting Battery
The long-lasting, easy to recharge battery typically stays charged for several days.
Low Battery Indicator
Lets you know when it is time to recharge.
Lightweight, Waterproof
Because dogs will be dogs.
Frequently Asked Questions
The SideWalker is used to train dogs to walk ‘on-leash’ without pulling and to reinforce ‘on-leash’ training.
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 an electronic 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.
The collar strap needs to be placed on the smallest part of the dog’s neck, just below the dog’s ears. It should be snug but must be able to rotate from one side of the neck to the other as the dog moves. If the collar is too tight, the vibration/stimulation may be triggered when the dog is not pulling. If the collar is too loose, the vibration/stimulation may be inconsistent or the dog may not feel the sensation. To ensure consistent pressure when the dog pulls, the SideWalker must be placed on the collar strap so it is opposite the ‘D’ ring (where the leash attaches to the collar strap).
Turn on the SideWalker to the ‘V’ setting (Vibration). Press down on the pressure sensor under the collar strap. (Note: After the SideWaker is turned-on, there is a 10 second delay before it will activate.) To test the stimulation settings, turn the SideWalker dial to one of the stimulation settings (1-5), place the Test Light (provided with the SideWalker) over the contact posts, then press down on the pressure sensor under the collar strap. The light on the Test Light should illuminate as the pressure increases.
The SideWalker is safe and effective on dogs as small as 6 pounds.
We recommend waiting until the dog is 4-6 months old.
