The ‘Stop-Start’ Loose Leash Method Can Make Pulling Worse
Description
Stopping every time your dog pulls? That’s the most common loose lead walking advice - and one of the biggest reasons owners never fix their dog’s pulling.
This stop/start method is supposed to teach dogs that when the lead is loose they can go, but in reality, it often makes things worse. Frustrated dogs. Frustrated owners. A pulling problem that feels tedious, miserable, endless.
In this episode, I’ll break down why the textbook logic doesn’t work in the real world - and what to do instead, so you and your dog can finally enjoy calm, stress free walks on a lovely loose lead!
Plus I’m sharing the real-life case study of my foster dog, who went from a pulling, barking mess to loose-lead mooching within just three walks.
The real prize isn’t a dog who tries to walk nicely because you’ve drilled it in. It’s a dog who can’t help but walk calmly - because calm has become their natural state. Nice!
