My dog pulls on the leash: how can I make walks enjoyable again?

A walk is supposed to be an enjoyable time… yet, some dogs seem to participate in a sled race as soon as they see a leash!

If your dog pulls, there's no need to pull even harder in return. He might simply think it's a game. It's better to stop as soon as the leash tightens and start again when it loosens. With a little patience and consistency, your companion will quickly understand that walking calmly is much more effective.

A suitable leash and a few treats as a reward can also work wonders. And don't worry: even the greatest pulling champions can make progress!

To serenely practice heel walking, your dog's complete equipment is strategic. Good training relies on a well-fitting adjustable collar that doesn't rub irritatingly, paired with a multi-position leash used in a short version for close control.
