Loose Leash Walking
We've all seen it. Maybe its has happened to you before. That dog, pulling you down the sidewalk as they try to get to their favorite park. Teaching loose leash walking is not a task you want to forget. Not only will it make your life easier, it will make your bond with your dog stronger. Training loose leash walking communicates with your dog that they have to pay attention to you (the handler). Like any training, this takes time and consistency but by making walks more enjoyable for you, your dog reaps the reward of getting outside more.
