Excessive pulling on the leash is a common and frustrating behavior, but it can be managed with consistent training and the right equipment. Focus on 'loose-leash walking' techniques, rewarding your dog when the leash is slack. Avoid pulling back or yanking, which can actually worsen the behavior. Consider using a front-clip harness or head halter, which can provide better control without causing discomfort. Professional positive reinforcement training can be very effective. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance to discuss specific training methods or equipment recommendations tailored to your dog.
