Dog Walking
When your dog pulls strongly on the leash, stop walking and hold the leash firmly. Do not yell at the dog or pull the leash as that sends the wrong message. When your dog stops straining on the leash, resume walking again. Each time your dog gets out in front and pulls strongly on the leash, stop and wait again. Your dog will soon get the message that forward progress requires matching its pace to your pace.
