Pulling on the leash

One of the biggest challenges many dog owners face is constant leash pulling on walks, making it difficult for you and the dog.  Constant pulling causes choking, and then some dogs are also aggressively barking at other dogs and even people, making it embarrassing and even dangerous.

Pulling on the Leash is the most common complaint by dog owners without proper training

Are you walking your dog, or is your dog walking you pulling in whatever direction he chooses with the speed he decides on? What’s worse yet is he may be pulling you into other dogs, and even if he is friendly, the other dog may not be.  Is he aggressively barking and lunging and everyone passing by? Are your neighbors walking away or crossing the street as soon as they see you? Are you dreading these walks or getting really frustrated and angry with your dog?

Unfortunately such walks develop even more behavioral problems.  Leash Pulling can also be a sign of underlying anxiety or fear. It can also be related to boredom, frustration, or discomfort in certain situations. And the major issue with it is the longer you let it continue, the more problems you and your dog will be facing.
