My Dog is Pulling on the Leash: 4 Tips for Enjoyable Walks

Have walks turned into a power struggle? Shoulder pain and constant pulling can turn outdoor time into a nightmare for both you and your dog.

Problem: A constantly tight leash increases your dog's stress levels and can cause them to become reactive towards other dogs.

Solution:

• Changing Direction: Stop or change direction the moment they pull.
• Focus Work: Reward them using a Paviento Clicker whenever they make eye contact.
• Trigger Tracking: Record why your dog is pulling (cats, cars, other dogs) in the Paviento Trigger Journal. This allows you to scientifically analyze the source of the problem.
