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

A walk is supposed to be a pleasant experience... 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 just think it's a game. It's better to stop as soon as the leash tightens and resume walking 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 strongest pullers can make progress!
