The WORST WAY to Stop Leash Pulling (And What Actually Works) 🤔

Most people, when they first clip a leash on their puppy or dog, have no formal plan. They head out the door hoping for the best.

But here’s the thing—once your dog reaches the end of the leash and starts pulling, you’re both in a tug-of-war. The leash tightens, the dog pulls harder, and you hold on tighter. It’s a match of strength.

Unintentionally, you’ve taught your dog that pulling gets results. By dragging you from point A to point B, your dog reaches the thing it desires most—whether that’s a tree to sniff, a squirrel to chase, or the next exciting smell. That’s positive reinforcement at work—without a single treat involved.

When Pulling Becomes a Problem

At some point, many owners decide the pulling has to stop. This is where frustration often takes over, and advice like “use a prong collar” or “give a leash pop” starts flooding in.
But let’s pause for a moment:
• The dog isn’t pulling because it’s “disobedient.”
• It’s pulling because it was rewarded for pulling in the first place.

Now, these tools and techniques might suppress the pulling. But at what cost? A prong collar or leash correction stops the behavior, but it often suppresses the dog’s joy for the walk itself. And is that fair? Should your dog be punished for a behavior they were unknowingly taught?

Let’s Rethink Leash Training 🐾
Whether you have a puppy or an adult dog who’s already mastered the art of pulling, there’s a better way. It’s not about punishment or suppression—it’s about teaching your dog to choose to walk nicely with you.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Start Small, Inside the House:
Leash training doesn’t begin when you head out the door—it starts the moment the leash is clipped on. Does your dog bolt out the door or wait for permission to step outside? Do they check in with you after being released, or are you an afterthought? If your dog is not engaged with you when you step outside your front door, or release your dog from the car, it will not be engaged on the walk. Setting this foundation is key to creating the walk you want.

2️⃣ Use the Right Tools & Skills:
A properly handled leash with the right length ensures there’s no pressure on your dog. Pulling doesn’t happen when there’s nothing to pull against. Learn to invite your dog to walk with you, rather than forcing or dragging them along.

3️⃣ Reward the Right Choices:
Notice and reward your dog for the behaviors you want:
• Keeping the leash loose.
• Checking in with you.
• Turning with you.
• Walking beside you when asked.

Rewards don’t always have to be treats (though treats work well!). They can also be life rewards—like permission to sniff, explore, or greet another dog. Just remember: rewards aren’t bribes. They’re surprises that make your dog want to repeat the good behavior, just like winning a raffle encourages you to buy another ticket.

The Result?
A walk that feels effortless and enjoyable—for both you and your dog. No frustration. No pulling. Just a happy, connected experience that strengthens your bond.

When you change how you think about leash training, the results can be life-changing. For you and your dog. ❤️

This 100% STOPS Your Dog Trying To Escape.

At doorways and gateways... stop trying to block with your legs while being almost pushed over as your dog tries to madly dash outside.

Consider what would happen, if a door or gate was accidentally left open. Would your dog be gone?

Many people tell the dog to sit and stay... but many dogs can't be trusted to 'Stay' if something exciting should appear.

I recommend adopting this approach. It is easy and safer.
