Stop Your Dog from Pulling on the Leash

Pulling back on the leash actually teaches your dog to pull harder. When you yank back,

shout, or speed up your walk, you're creating tension that makes

pulling worse. Dogs naturally oppose pressure, so that tug becomes a signal to resist

more. Instead, stop moving when they pull. Wait until the leash

goes slack, then calmly continue walking. Reward them when they're beside you.

Consistent calm guidance breaks the pulling cycle. Your energy sets the tone.

Stay relaxed, move slowly, and your dog will follow your lead instead of fighting

against it. “Follow for daily dog training tips you can use immediately.”
