Stop Your Dog Leash Pulling – Dog Obedience Training
I hate to admit it, but before I knew how to train dogs properly my dog always used to pull very hard on the leash. It never bothered me, I am a large guy, standing 6′3 tall and 195 lbs!
But everything changed one day… when the leash slipped from my hands unexpectedly…
Imagine walking down a busy sidewalk being dragged along when a squirrel appears across the street… to make the story short there were squealing brakes, an angry cyclist, and upset mom and not to mentioned the frightened squirrel!
A dog pulling on a leash is dangerous!
It only takes one time, and it is not a matter of “IF” – it’s just a matter of time!
To repeat, dog pulling on a leash is Dangerous!
Not only for your dog as they begin to choke, but for yourself, drivers on the road and other pedestrians on the sidewalk. When children are involved accidents may quickly become very serious!
Unfortunately many dog owners do not appreciate how serious this risk is and often tolerate leash pulling as a normal part of the walk.
They even justify it celebrating this unsafe behavior as a ‘personality of their otherwise loving pooch!
Before you even start dog leash training you should make sure you have the right leash, collar and or even harness in some cases.
A professional dog train can work with a very simple leash and collar, but for most having the right training equipment will make the experience a positive for both dog and owner.
Ideally you never want the leash to be taught, as this means the dog is on the verge of pulling.
The best way to get a dog to obey you is through the “leader-follower” dog leash training method, and using treats to reinforce the “right” heeling and following behavior — at this same time it is good idea the use the “heel” command.
It shouldn’t be long before your dog begins to see you as the leader – and follow by your side.
Remember to set your dog up for success
The 3 golden rules for success in the early stages training
Don’t do the following:
- Avoid distractions (busy park, other dogs…etc)
- Make sure you dog is exercised before the session
- Is hungry, but has had a good drink of water
Do’s !
- Train in a familiar quite place free of distractions
- Both of you should be calm and relaxed
- Use treats that your dog absolutely loves …!!!
When you ‘re training make sure you give regular walks to keep its energy levels down. This will make your life easier, and is great for the general health of the dog.

Well, the only thing I might suggest is that often there are good reasons for using a leash and a collar. For one thing, it is almost impossible to provide a mild correction with a body harness as opposed to a collar.
