Rehearsal of Pulling is super powerful if pulling on leash helps your dog get it wants:
🐾 a pat from that friendly-person
🐾 to sniff that piece of trash
🐾 Getting closer to that exciting dog, critter or leaf blowing in the wind

🙁 Dogs learn pulling is a super effective way to get what they want.They also learn “if I pull hard enough, the human at the end of the leash moves.”

🤯 Rehearsal of pulling is very powerful – the more they practice leash pulling the more they will pull in future.

So what to do.

💡 If your dog is pulling, don’t move with your dog. Anchor yourself in place. Yes, you might be there a bit. Then once your dog loosens the leash play a game that refocuses your dog onto you.

❤️And you can do that by downloading our Loose Leash Walking game plan e-book.

🤩 When it comes to leash training, here’s something we keep hearing over and over again:

“Once my dog is distracted, nothing helps.”

Yes—you’re right.

🚞 When your dog is super excited about approaching a dog, pulling like a freight train toward a person, or ignoring your cues like you’re invisible…

There’s no secret “fix-it” during that moment.

🪄 ✨ It’s totally normal to wish there was a quick answer—something like: “Tap the leash, say abracadabra, and your dog stops pulling.”

If only it were that easy, right?

So what’s the real solution? It starts before your dog hits that Hot Mess Zone.

If your walks feel like this:
🐾 Constant pulling at the end of the leash
🐾 Lunging at squirrels, dogs, joggers, or bikes
🐾 Zero attention on you—just zig-zagging and dragging you down the path
🐾 Overstimulation the second you leave the house

Then you don’t need another piece of special equipment, or to figure it out on your own.

🤩 👩‍🔬 What you need is the (Fun) science that unlocks behavior transformation and teaches your dog how walk calmly, disengage from the environment and engage with you instead and too love, love, love staying close to you instead of wanting to at the end of the leash. ❤️

The good news is, I have an upcoming FREE Fast Track To Loose Leash Walking webinar to show you the 4 key skills your dog needs.

During the webinar, I'll cover:
🐾 The 4 Fast Track skills that address why dogs pull.
🐾 Your first 4 games to change leash pulling and chaos into calm, peaceful walks
🐾 The one question that’s keeping most dog owners stuck in the chaos
🐾 Real Students who have worked through their chronic pullers struggle and now have a dog that walks beautifully
🐾 What no one ever teaches but is key to your success.

And We’ll break down what’s actually working for dogs in the real world, so you can apply it to your own dog, step-by-step.

We’re going deep into why most leash advice doesn’t work—and how to fix the root cause, not just slap a “band-aid” on the symptoms.

🤯 The responsibility for keeping the leash loose is not all yours. Your dog should share that responsibility with you. Your responsibility is to:
🐾 give your dog the education it needs to gain the skills to take on some responsibility to then make fantastic choices.
🐾 To stop doing your share of the pulling
🐾 And to have reasonable expectations about what your dog is ready for.

And here is a great start for you.

Right now, we are having low level Thunder at our house. So I quickly set up a camera to show you how you can apply your training to Thunderstorms.

This strategy is for dogs that notice the Thunder but can still eat.

❓Have you heard dog trainers say, where the value goes, your dog will go?

😟 what does that mean for leash walking?

🐕 Your dog is going to migrate to what is valuable to them. For example, when on a walk, most people hold leash in the hand close to their dog and their food reward in the other hand.

Try this experiment with me and let me know how it goes with your dog.
