Summary
Loose leash walking is one of the most requested skills in dog training. Many owners struggle because they try to overpower the dog instead of teaching calm communication. In this episode, we explain why dogs pull, how to introduce leash pressure properly, and how to build engagement that prevents pulling before it starts. You will learn simple drills you can use in the backyard or on the sidewalk, and how to reward correct position early so your dog understands the rules clearly. By the end, you will have a repeatable system to make walks calm and enjoyable.
