Elements of a leash lesson
- A short warm-up in a low-distraction place.
- A clear reward spot beside your leg, so the dog knows where to be.
- Practice turning, stopping and changing speed.
- Gear that fits properly and does not hurt the dog.
- A route plan that matches the dog's current level.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my dog pull even after lessons?
Pulling is rehearsed every time it succeeds. Everyone who walks the dog must follow the same rules.
Which equipment is best?
Many trainers like a well-fitted harness or a flat collar. Ask for a demonstration before you buy anything.
How long should a practice walk be?
Short and frequent beats long and frustrating. Five good minutes at the start is plenty.
Can I train a big dog myself?
Many people do with guidance. A lesson helps with timing and safe handling.
