Leash Pulling? Your Roadmap To Loose Leash Walks
Is your dog dragging you down the street, making every walk feel like a workout you didn’t sign up for?

Whether you're raising a high-energy puppy or struggling with a reactive adult dog, this step-by-step guide will help you transform chaotic walks into calm, connected experiences.
You’ll learn the difference between loose leash walking and a structured heel position, why it matters, and how to train it using practical, real-life methods that start right in your living room. I’ll break down the most common mistakes dog owners make and show you how to fix them.
If you’ve ever dreamed of walking your dog with confidence and control, this episode is your roadmap. You’ll walk away with simple, actionable tips to create a peaceful walk routine, build mutual respect, and move one step closer to off-leash reliability.
