Stop walking and turn as soon as you
feel pressure on the leash, or your dog will learn that pulling «works» for getting him what he wants.
If the dog does forge ahead,
steady pressure on the leash will turn him back towards you and prevent that arm - out - of - the - socket dash down the road.
When they start to
put pressure on the leash i make them circle behind me while I continue walking, it puts them automatically in the healing posi and then give them a treat, i now enjoy our walks.
As soon as her feet were on the platform, I released

I let the dog lead as long as there is
no pressure on the leash.
You can allow your dog to walk in front of you as long as there is
no pressure on the leash from him or her pulling.
