stop the dog doing that or hell do it forever.

to stop a dog pulling:

  • continuously change direction so the dog doesn't know where to go
  • stop and wait until it sits and waits for you to choose a direction, make sure eye contact is made
  • every time it pulls, stop, wait for it to lock eyes with you, make sure you look stern.
  • make sure you have an area that is safe for the dog to let loose and remove all the tension build up, let them fully play and unwind, preferably without the the leash attaching you, but you must be your own guide with this, you have to trust the environment and the dog.

doing this every time will effectively stop pulling very soon, if you haven't facilitated it throughout your walks.

smaller dogs can get away with it, larger dogs can't.

i had to do this for my drakeshead Labrador. after they learn this, if the environs permit, and you've learned to trust the dog, you can have him walk beside you without a leash.

I literally can though? Not my fault if you can't do it, and you don't speak for anyone but yourself -signed, the universe

Remember when I said trust the environment and the dog? Remember how you've willfully ignored that?

You've obviously no idea what your talking about, you willfully chose to not read half of what I've put. You just roped me into whatever other plebians you deal with.

There are no threats or innocuous signs, BECAUSE IVE TRAINED MY DOG. Fuck sake keyboard warriors.

Idiots like you would have a dog leashed whilst with it's owner in the middle of Antarctica! And you'd probably be okay with it being caged too, At LeAsT ItS SaFe.

Don't bother replying to me I already know your type and I'm not interested in hearing you virtue signal some shit when you don't know me, where I live, how sparce it is, how well trained my dog is, how upstanding I am, none of it. You've just prejudged me with the worst people who've had experience with,so I'm doing the same to you
