This week we discuss: Stop Pulling My Lead … overcoming on-lead behaviour struggles with your dog!

Pulling on lead is one of the most common challenges to your sexiness! This is often the #1 struggle that not only is uncomfortable and definitely not fun but can sometimes be physically painful! The dog-owning reality most of us dream of having does not include being dragged down the street with our dog digging in and pulling us enthusiastically in all directions.

We explore the solutions to this frustrating problem and even a great structured programme for those that want to dive into a heavily discounted option! What do you need to grow and develop so that pulling is not a desirable option for your dog. Believe it or not, these solutions will work for even the strongest of pullers!

What kind of information does your dog need to be the best companion on walks they can possibly be? Find out in this amazing episode!
