Loose Leash Walking Basics

Loose leash walking is about rewarding the position you want, not pulling.

Quick steps

• Start indoors with low distractions.
• Reward your dog for walking next to you.
• Stop moving when the leash tightens.

Training tips

• Use small, high-value treats.
• Keep sessions short and positive.
• Increase distractions gradually.

Consistency turns good habits into everyday walks.
