Pulling on walks
Dog Training at Home
Does your dog attempt to pull you down the road?
Here are some ways to stop your dog from pulling you during walks:
- In the Dogs mind, it is attempting to dominating you.
- Use a front-clip harness to control the dog’s chest and discourage pulling.
- Train the dog to walk on a loose leash using positive reinforcement techniques.
- Change direction or stop every time the dog pulls.
- Set a pace and stick to it, slowing down or speeding up as necessary.
- Give your dog frequent breaks to sniff and explore.
- Consider using a training collar for additional control.
- Never use spike collars or choke collars, the dog will still fight these attempts, only causing harm to the dog.
- Get a professional dog trainer’s help.
