Leash training dog / dogs pulling on the leash
The following are methods used by Downtown Pets in Lower
Manhattan, a professional NYC dog
walker company.
Here are some keys to stop a dog from pulling on the leash.
1. Hold the leash with two hands - one through the loop and one
about a foot up from the bottom.
2.Tie a knot on your leash about a foot or foot and a quarter
up. Hold the leash
underneath the knot and never move your hand.
3. Always keep your dog on the left side. If they stray to the
right gently guide them
back to
position.
4. If your dog continues to pull, stop in your tracks, wait
until he finally turns back to
you, tell him he's a good dog and continue on. Your dog should
show recognition if you are consistant with the above.
5. So you've done these things and your dog still wants to be
the pack leader? You
might want to invest in either a gentle leader or Halti and use
them to teach the "heal command".
