How to Train Your Dog to Stop Pulling on the Leash

🐕 Introduction

Walking your dog should be relaxing, not a battle. If your pup drags you down the street, it’s time to teach calm, confident leash manners — without frustration or harsh tools.

🧩 Step-by-Step Training

1. Start Indoors – Practice walking with treats in a quiet space.
2. Use a Short Leash & Harness – Gives you gentle control.
3. Reward Calm Walking – Give a treat when your dog walks beside you.
4. Stop When They Pull – Stand still until your dog relaxes.
5. Gradually Add Distractions – Move outside once they’re consistent indoors.

🦮 Pro Tip

Consistency is everything. Short, frequent sessions work better than long, exhausting walks.

💬 Why It Matters

A calm walker equals safer walks, better bonding, and less stress for both of you.
