Teaching your dog not to pull on the leash can make walks more enjoyable for both of you. A great place to start is by rewarding your pup for good walking behavior. When they keep the leash loose, give them a treat or some praise to encourage this habit. If they start pulling, stop walking. Waiting until the leash loosens shows them that pulling won’t get them anywhere.
Using a front-clip harness can also make a big difference. This type of harness gently redirects your dog and gives you more control without causing discomfort. Begin training in quiet areas where there are fewer distractions, so your pup can focus on learning these new skills before moving on to busier environments.
