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 electrical 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 electrical stimulation (for that setting) gradually increases. When the dog stops pulling, the SideWalker resets to the lowest level for that setting.

What Our Customers Say
Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came out when he said he would, took care of it all in one day. Even came back out a few days later when a wire got cut from heavy machinery and fixed it up free of charge. Highly recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I have two Labradors. We ordered an “invisible fence” from Amazon, installed it and our pups put it to the test. They figured that system out real quick, and were soon, able to escape the new boundary. I was talking with one of my neighbors about the fence and he recommended Kevin with “Dogwatch” and sent me his number. I got in touch with Kevin and he came out to inspect my property and give suggestions. He gave me a good price on keeping my dogs inside the boundaries. Great customer servicePosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt response did what he said he would do and on time! Knows the product very well! Got our dogs squared away quickly! Great guy!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.
