Season 1 Episode 2 Adventures of Training a Dog that Pulls On a Leash

I have a leash puller. She is the sweetest dog, most of the time and when I can get her off leash she will behave most of the time. But when I put on her harness and attach her leash she turns into a hard charging pulling beast. Using patience and persistence and a lot of stubbornness. I am making some progress.

If you have a leash puller, it is tempting to use a retractable 15 foot leash. Listen in to find out why that is an incredibly bad idea.

Cleaning up your bad dog behaviors including leash pulling. Excellent article from Dr Karen Becker.

Avoid Injuring Your Dog— yanking on the leash, using a prong collar or choke chain can damage your dogs neck and cause neurological damage. Change to a halter and use a six foot standard leash. I like the flat ribbon nylon because they are more durable if your dog chews on them.

Regular Chiropractic Care for your dog can help minimize injuries and further neurological damage from pulling.
