A Dog that pulls on the leash is not one that is fun to walk and will make exercising your dog more difficult but having a dog that walks to heel on a loose leash makes it a much more enjoyable experience.

Loose lead walking is the single most Important thing you can do with your dog I recently had a client that had been Putting in tons of work to master loose Lead walking and they were just missing A few key tricks and i’m going to share Those tricks with you in this video so You can master loose lead heel walking Yourself i’m going to kind of watch Coach you through it make some tweaks Then come to a stop and a nice sit so a Couple of things yeah the first one when You come to this stop i want you to Claim the space in front of the silly Fair call it planting your flag she’s Clearly you can see it there got into That habit of just her circle kind of Just a little bit in front of you but if You just take your left foot and just a Little bit of a step forward in front of Her okay yeah you could have gone back a Little bit that’s probably a bit it Doesn’t matter That’s the position i want you to get Comfortable okay The other thing Is and this might be because i’m here And you’d be kind of concerned a lot but You’re doing lots of this okay So you’re kind of watching almost Waiting for it to fail yeah and it Sounds silly and trust me i’m not kind Of like a hippie worry guy or anything Like that and it seems like
It makes a massive difference the Difference between this And you coming up here I don’t i wish i could explain why it Works i just know that it does okay It’s a level of kind of assertive Confidence and how somehow that gets Relayed that’s standing proud um so Those two things so just carrying Yourself A little bit bigger more assertively Massive knock-on effects when you come To a stop just remember plant your flag Claim that space okay then the last Thing’s gonna be your inside turns when You do your directional changes i’m Guessing correct me if i’m wrong you do A lot of outside turns yeah that’s what That would mean is coming this way yeah She’s gonna benefit massively from the Inside turns i don’t know if i clocked The couple that i did where i kind of Turned it That is going to be what Helps her understand that she has to Drop in yeah the outside turn and the Stops help them focus Those inside turns where we cut them off Is what brings them back okay because They understand that at any given time You can turn this way And if they’re in the wrong position You’re walking through them So for them to be aware and not have
That happen they just drop back a little Bit and this is one of those things Where i can tell really quickly when People are you’re a nice person yeah so As you’re doing it you’re kind of Skirting yeah yeah around a little bit Um Because you’re a nice person you don’t Want to go through it the problem is you Kind of have to do it as part of the Process So when you’re doing it rather than kind Of this yeah a certain kind of curving Round and kind of giving her the space You the and you only it only has to Happen a couple of times and then it’s Just in them but you have to claim that Space so it looks quite dramatically Yeah almost on this dime here yeah twist And then straight line 90 degrees okay So what that looks like with your left Leg is you’re coming up and you i’m Ready i’m going to do it here we go here We go Straight through them if you just get a Couple of reps in of that yeah you’ll be Shocked at the difference it takes with Me come on so now head up look where You’re going you’re leading this walk Beautiful Yeah lovely mate that was really nice And back up head up and go again Good then mix it up and do an outside Because now we need problem is she’s
