This is the method we’ve been using to train Kylie to stop pulling every time she’s out on the leash. It’s really helped me as Kylie is much stronger than me and will only get stronger as she matures.
It’s quite simple really, all you need to do is keep your dog an a short leash and by your side. Use gentle but firm correction and keep changing directions as you walk - every couple of steps or so.
You’ll find that the first couple of times you try this your dog will be a little difficult to control - you’ve just seen how much trouble I had with Kylie! But, soon that will stop and your dog will realise that she can’t pull as she’s not sure which direction she’s going in.
This excercise really gets your dog thinking and is good mental stimulation for her, however it can be tiring so don’t overdo it - 5 to 10 mins at a time, once or twice a day is all that’s needed so it’s also great if you’re busy.
If you’d like more info on this or other training methods I highly recommend a book called “SitStayFetch” we bought a copy and it’s been a godsend!
Look out for some more videos of me, Kylie and, of course, Stuart in a while
Bye
Susan.
