Dog Pulling on Leash

One of the most frustrating behaviors for most dog owners is when their dog refuses to walk calmly by your side and instead constantly tries to pull you along on your walks, dictating where he wants to go, how fast he wants to get there, and pays little or no attention to you, his owner.

A dog pulling on leash is a definite signal that they think they are in control and that you’re simply there to follow their lead. So what winds up happening is that they pay attention to distractions rather than you, the handler...basically everything else that's going on around him instead of you.

It’s a very common problem but one that is easily solved.

What’s incredibly helpful is to watch videos of handlers who know how to control their dogs so that you can learn the exact methods they use.

But more on this later.

First, let’s cover three extremely easy fixes for your dog pulling on leash issue.

1. The Pack Leader Harness. One of the things you may not realize is that just about every collar will actually encourage your dog to pull harder on his leash.

I've found that using a Pack Leader harness instead of the traditional collar can be an incredible help. This type of harness fits in exactly the right way around your dog's body and applies pressure where you need it in order to focus the dog's attention back on the handler.

You can find this type of harness on the Internet without any problem. Simply do a Google search and you should easily find places where you can get it.

2. Learn clicker training. A clicker, which in my opinion is like the cure-all of dog training aids. It can be useful in correcting so many different unwanted behaviors in dogs, that I encourage you to take a look at this training method.

In a nutshell, the way it works is that you train your dog to expect a reward whenever he hears the sound of a click. After you plant this expectation in your dog's mind, he'll instinctively start to focus his attention on you as soon as he hears the clicker sound.

We don’t have a tremendous amount of space in this article to go through the ins and outs of clicker training, but there are plenty of resources where you can learn the basics.

A clicker is useful in correcting leash pulling, because the sound will redirect a dog's attention away from the distraction and back on you.

3. Food reards. Any dog owner knows the power of the food treat to mold a dog’s behavior. When using treats to stop a dog’s leash pulling problem, what you basically want to do is introduce the food to your dog, and then let the dog use his naturally powerful sense of smell to direct his attention and his movements in the direction you want.

This is a little bit difficult to demonstrate without actually seeing it done, so let’s cover that right now.

Stopping a dog from pulling on the leash is actually a very simple process. I've been on a lot of TV programs where I've shown dog owners these very same techiques, so I'd like to show you a complete video that reveals exactly how to do this in less than half an hour.

Right now, visit this dog pulling on leash video on my blog, where you’ll find a complete video that reveals how to use a pack leader harness, a clicker, or food rewards (or all three) to train your dog to walk calmly by your side and always listen to what you want him to do.
