Harnesses can make dogs pull harder — and there’s a simple reason why.

A harness puts pressure across some of the strongest parts of a dog’s body: the chest and shoulders. When a dog pulls forward and you pull back, they can lower their centre of gravity, lean into that pressure and keep driving forward.

You also have very little control over the dog’s head. So while you’re pulling their body away from another dog, cat or distraction, their head can remain locked onto it — and where the head goes, the body often follows.

Harnesses absolutely have their uses, but if your goal is teaching a dog to walk politely on leash, simply putting them in a harness won’t teach them not to pull.

The equipment matters — but the training matters more.

A reactive dog doesn’t just need to be distracted from the things they react to. They need to learn what we actually want them to do instead.

In this session with Midnight, we work on the foundations first — leash handling, engagement, position, changes of direction, sit and holding commands until released.

Then we start adding the real world back in: another dog, bikes, people and movement.

There’s pressure when he ignores the rules, release when he makes the right choice, and rewards for engagement and attention.

The goal isn’t to spend the rest of his life avoiding triggers or constantly shoving food in front of his face. It’s to teach him how to walk with his owner, stay responsive and make better choices even when something exciting is happening around him.

At first, the walk is training.
Then the walk becomes his job.
Eventually, it simply becomes the way you walk together.

The bed command is one of the most useful things you can teach your dog — especially inside the home.

It’s not just about getting them onto the bed. It’s about teaching duration, distance and eventually distraction.

When guests come over, instead of constantly saying:

❌ Stop jumping
❌ Get down
❌ Leave them alone
❌ Stop climbing on everything

Give your dog something they CAN do.

👉 Go to your bed.
👉 Settle there.
👉 Stay there while life happens around you.

Then, when they're calm, release them and let them interact. If they start becoming a pest again? Back to the bed.

Less constantly telling your dog what NOT to do. More teaching them what you WANT them to do.

That’s where structure inside the home becomes incredibly useful.

🚪 The front door is one of the biggest danger zones for dogs.

Most dogs don't think... they react.

Door opens ➡️ Brain says "Run!"

Instead of fighting that habit, change the pattern.

✔️ Teach your dog there's an invisible boundary at the door. ✔️ Open and close it without always going for a walk. ✔️ Reward calm decisions, not excitement. ✔️ Practice recalls back into the house.

The goal isn't just good manners—it's preventing your dog from running onto the road one day.

Train for real life, not just the training session.

Have you taught your dog to wait at the door? 👇🐾
