Why do dogs pull? 🐕💨
It’s called Opposition Reflex, and it’s the #1 reason your walks feel like a tug-of-war.
Here is the breakdown: 1️⃣ The Trigger: You apply pressure on the leash. 2️⃣ The Instinct: Your dog’s body naturally pushes against that pressure. 3️⃣ The Result: A dog that pulls harder the more you try to hold them back.
If you are using a harness, you might actually be making it feel even better for them to pull.
Success in loose leash walking isn’t about "tiring them out." It’s about teaching them to yield to leash pressure rather than fight it.
We cover exactly how to desensitize this reflex in Phase 2: Leash Pressure of our new book.
💡 Trainer Tip: You want to teach your dog to move with the leash, not against it.
