Dog Training Made Easy: Stop pulling on the lead - Part 11/25

Does your dog pull on the lead? Don't panic, help is at hand! Part 11/25.

Carolyn Menteith, host of the 25 videos, guides dog owners through important topics such as handling your dog, biting, sitting, barking, digging, eating poo, commands such as sit, stay, and retrieve, and so much more.

These videos are around 2-5 minutes each and can be watched in order or individually. As a whole, the series aims to help you ensure your dog is socialable, well trained, and a happier dog.

Dear Dogs Trust - thank you so much for posting this video. Tried in the indoor technique last night after viewing your video and got him approaching his favourite toy in a calm manner, on his lead, within 20 minutes! Also kept him on a really short leash with his halti this morning on his walk so he couldn't pull ahead of me and within 300 yards he had stopped trying to pull! I'm not saying we've cracked it, but what a difference! Definitely an overnight success, literally!

@LobusWobbles brilliant to hear it was a success! Thanks so much for the positive review :)

very nicely produced videos!

however, am i right in saying that your dog there is barking for the toy and food? and, you are rewarding him for that behaviour? (just a thought)...

it looks to me like the dog is frustrated at the non-reward and is confused at what you are doing....

@edidasa Thanks for your comments. This video is to demonstrate how to train a dog to stop pulling on the lead. Digby and Carolyn were illustrating the steps and methods to take, and not specifically training Digby. I definitely see your point, but Digby is already fully trained and was probably a little bit fed up of filming! :)

Ths is the best I have seen yet. I have been using your method for sitting and lots of other things too and it works great! Thanks for sharing this. Very much appreciated!

I like this video because you show the dog doing the wrong things as you correct him. Most videos I see people just have dogs that are already trained to do what they want to show on the video.

I'm going to be trying this with our otherwise well behaved, one year old German Shepherd. We've got everything else cracked apart from walking on the lead.

So I have to walk around with a bag of dog treats? Using treats to train a dog is absurd.
