At the End of My Leash is a reality TV show produced by Purple Dog Media, which follows a dog trainer and animal behaviorist named Ashley (last name not specified) as she works with clients to address their dog's problematic behavior. The show is currently available on Amazon Prime Video.

Each episode of the show focuses on a different case, with Ashley visiting the client's home and observing the dog in its natural environment. The show covers a range of issues, including aggression towards other dogs or people, separation anxiety, excessive barking, and destructive behavior. Ashley uses a variety of training techniques and works with the dog and its owner to find a long-term solution to the problem.

One of the things that sets At the End of My Leash apart from other dog training shows is its emphasis on the underlying psychology of the dog. Ashley talks extensively about how the dog's behavior is a reflection of its emotional state, and how changes in the dog's environment or daily routine can have a significant impact on its behavior. She also emphasizes the importance of understanding the dog's personality and temperament, and tailoring the training approach accordingly.

Another unique aspect of the show is its focus on the human side of the equation. Ashley spends a significant amount of time talking with the dog owners about their own behavior and attitudes towards their pet. She often uncovers underlying issues, such as anxiety or guilt, that may be contributing to the dog's problematic behavior. By addressing these issues, Ashley is able to help both the dog and its owner achieve a greater level of happiness and trust.

One particularly memorable episode features a Great Dane named Benny who has a compulsive behavior of licking and chewing on his paws. Ashley spends time with Benny's owner, a young woman who is struggling with depression and anxiety, and helps her to recognize how her own emotional state is affecting Benny's behavior. With a combination of behavior modification and lifestyle changes, Ashley is able to help both Benny and his owner find greater peace and contentment.

Throughout the show, we see Ashley's deep love and respect for animals, as well as her commitment to helping both dogs and their owners overcome challenging situations. Her approach is both empathetic and pragmatic, focusing on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes or punishment-based methods.

Overall, At the End of My Leash is a thoughtful and emotionally engaging look into the world of dog behavior and training. It offers valuable insights and practical advice for dog owners struggling with behavioral issues, as well as a heartwarming reminder of the deep bond that can exist between humans and their animal companions.

At the End of My Leash is a series that ran for 6 seasons (62 episodes) between January 1, 1970 and on Purple Dog Media
