Loose-lead walking: week one

Short sessions, lots of rewards. Stop before either of you gets fed up.

  1. 1

    Reward by your leg, indoors

    Walk around the kitchen. Every time your dog is next to your leg, say “yes” and drop a treat by your foot. 2 minutes, twice a day.

  2. 2

    Stop when the lead goes tight

    On walks, the moment the lead tightens, stand still. When it goes slack, say “yes” and walk on. Walking on is the reward.

  3. 3

    Change direction

    If your dog is pulling towards something, turn and walk the other way. Reward when they catch up beside you.

    One calm street

    Pick one quiet street and practise the whole length of it every day. Note how many stops you needed.
