How to Stop Your Dog From Pulling on Its Leash
Dogs pull on their leashes because their owners do. Before breaking your dog's habit, you need to break yours! Don't pull on your dog's leash, or he'll learn that pulling in the direction he wants is where he'll get to go.
Steps to Stopping Your Dog From Pulling:
When your dog is about to apply any tension to the leash at all, immediately stop. Stand still until your dog turns around to see what happened - then praise him for his attention. Use food rewards for best results.
Simply STOP every single time you note that the dog is about to put the slightest tension on the leash and the pulling will go away. (Yeah, right.) No, honest - It really, really works! The truth is, that if you tire your dog out first with a good game of fetch and then take him for a walk in a quiet non-distracting place every day this week with only ONE goal: to walk without tension and you absolutely refuse to take a single forward step when you feel tension on the leash, he will discover that pulling is "broken" and that the tension is a cue to slacken the lead.
You will see the light bulb go on when he realizes this. If you are consistent and don't give up, he will learn it. He will have good days and bad, but if you are diligent he will figure it out.
