Master Loose Leash Walking: Expert Trainer's Tips
Mastering loose leash walking can be a challenge for many dog owners. Carolyn, an expert trainer and founder of Good Dog Training, shares valuable tips to help stop leash pulling and achieve a pleasant walking experience.
Carolyn suggests starting in a low distraction area to train your dog to walk well on the leash. Begin by rehearsing walking together without covering ground. Use specific verbal cues like 'uh-huh' to help your dog connect pulling with stopping. Wait for the leash to be slack and your dog to check in with you before resuming the walk. Reward heavily with treats and praise to make walking with you enjoyable for your dog.
Dogs may pull on the leash due to various reasons, including common mistakes made by pet parents. If you find yourself struggling, consider seeking help from a qualified trainer. With time and patience, training your dog to walk well on the leash is achievable.
