If your dog is engaging in undesirable behaviors like pulling on the leash, you need to invest in dog training. Quick fixes don’t work in dog training. Your dog is only pulling on the leash because you’ve taught it to pull on the leash.
If you want to teach your dog to stop pulling on the leash, you need to prioritize your relationship with the dog, define clear expectations, and communicate fluently regarding walks.
Ask yourself, how did you introduce your dog to the leash? Did you take the time to teach your dog to control its impulses?
Dog training is a complex puzzle. If your dog jumps on guests or barks at the mailman, it will pull on the leash. Ninety percent of dog training is structure. If you’re constantly reinforcing your dog to lack impulse control and become overstimulated, you’re teaching the dog to pull on the leash whenever its presented with novelty like squirrels, cars, and other dogs.
