Some people believe that dogs pull on the leash because they want to be a pack leader or dominant over the owner. I believe there is a much simpler explanation. Dogs simply love to be outside!
This 4-week leash manners course will teach you different walking techniques and useful commands to make your daily walks enjoyable for both of you.
Each week you’ll have access to this comprehensive online course with useful videos, fact sheets, coursework and daily training tasks. You can ask questions any time via the blue round chat button on the bottom right corner of your screen.
