Kuma the Corgi Mix.

Meet Kuma!

Kuma, a recently-adopted former stray, has a lovely name that means "Little Bear" in Japanese. Don't let this intimidating-sounding fool you — this little girl is sweet as sweet can be. And she loves living in Central Square and exploring Cambridge. In fact, sometimes she loves it a little too much... because Kuma is, I'm sorry to say, a leash-puller.

Teaching dogs how to properly walk on-leash is just one of the many fundamentals we at Zen Dog explain to our clients. So even though Kuma is clearly an extraordinary girl, she has an ordinary problem.

This is a good thing, because we have a solution: a game we call Red Light, Green Light. It's very similar to the game I played as a kid, except this version has leashes.
It sounds easy at first, but getting the specifics right can be a bit difficult. After learning a few tricks from us though, Kuma and her parents got the hang of it.

By playing this game every time they go for a walk,
Kuma and her family will enjoy their time outside that much more.
