Stop the pulling

Leash pulling is fixable with consistency and the right mechanics. You don’t need to walk farther — you need to walk smarter.

  • Stop moving. When tension happens, stop immediately. Wait for slack before resuming.
  • Reward position. Treat frequently when your dog chooses to walk at your side.
  • Change direction. Unpredictability keeps your dog engaged with you, not the environment.
  • Let them sniff — strategically.Use “go sniff” as a reward after calm walking.
