🚶♀️🐕 Master the Leash Lock for Safer Walks! 🐾
Madi is here to teach you an essential leash-handling technique that keeps your dog secure and you safe! 💪 Whether you’re walking a strong puller or a calm companion, knowing how to properly “lock” your leash can make all the difference.
✨ Key takeaways:
✔️ Use your pointer finger or thumb to secure the leash.
✔️ Hold it near your core for maximum control.
✔️ Never wrap the leash around your hand—safety first!
This simple trick can prevent injuries and give you better handling on walks. Share this with someone who needs smoother, safer walks with their dog! 🐶
