Have you ever felt like giving up on loose lead training? π©
Youβre definitely not the only one!
So many puppy owners start out with the best intentions determined to teach calm, polite lead walking but after a few weeks of being pulled down the road, itβs easy to think βthis just isnβt working.β
But hereβs the truth π
Your puppy isnβt being naughty or stubborn.
They simply need time, patience and repetition to understand what youβre asking for.
Loose lead walking is one of the hardest skills for puppies to master because:
πΎ The world is full of distractions
πΎ Every smell is brand new
πΎ And pulling actually works it gets them to what they want!
If youβve been practising and feel like giving up, please donβt π
This isnβt something that clicks overnight.
Start small. Practise in easy, low-distraction places like your home or garden.
Reward every bit of focus and every step on a loose lead those seconds will soon turn into minutes.
β οΈ Quick fixes and special gadgets might look tempting, but they donβt teach your puppy how to walk nicely they just hide the problem.
Keep going. Keep practising.
Celebrate the little wins π
Because every successful step brings you closer to those calm, connected walks you dreamed of when you brought your puppy home πΆπ
Save this post for when you feel like giving up β youβve got this! πͺπΎ
