About this location
No Leash Needed – West County is a dog training facility in Valley Park, West County, one of No Leash Needed's locations in the metro. Training leans on balanced training: reward-based, positive reinforcement comes first, may also use marker training, luring, the place command, and tools including prong collars and techniques adapted to each dog rather than one method for all.
