DogWatch® 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.
What is the purpose of the SideWalker®?
The SideWalker® is designed to instantly provide feedback to dogs that pull on the lead, helping them learn to walk calmly by your side without the need for constant corrections.
How does the SideWalker® work?
The device recognizes when the leash is pulled tight and provides a gentle vibration or “tap” to get the dog’s attention, resetting their focus back to the handler.
How do I fit the SideWalker® to my dog?
The collar should be snug enough that the contact points touch the skin, but loose enough that you can fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.
How do I test the SideWalker®?
You can test the vibration and stimulation settings by manually pulling on the built-in sensor to ensure the device is triggering correctly before your walk.
How big does my dog need to be to use the SideWalker®?
The SideWalker® is adjustable and can be used on most dogs weighing 10 pounds or more.
How old does my dog need to be to use the SideWalker®?
We generally recommend starting this type of training once a puppy is at least 4 months old and has a basic understanding of leash pressure.
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.

Release the Tension.
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

Customer Testimonial
“Max was a nightmare if I tried to run. After reading about the SideWalker collar, I purchased one. One walk and jog later and he stays at the heel position. It's only been one five minute session, but it’s looking good already. A few more sessions and he will be a great jogging companion.”
