Hereās Leiaās first ever session with leash pressure. This is how I like to introduce it, only AFTER Iāve charged up my āyesā marker. I think itās important to note that once I apply the pressure there can be no success other than giving into the pressure. Success any other way is how the dogs learn to plant, pull against, bite, paw or even bark at it. None of it gets the pressure to go away, only following it will get it to go away. Itās very important and it gets overlooked all the time and thatās where the root of all leash walking problems begin, we wire their brain to learn to follow it this way. Itās simply pressure on, they follow it, pressure off. We donāt want to force the dog to follow by dragging them around but allowing them to do it on their own, help as little as possible but as much as necessary. Learning happens in the gray area so itās important we allow them to learn. Do this with your dog to get them to understand the concept and then we can move into other leash walking drills to further the skill. Which this very much is, a skill.
I have room for board and trains, daily session packages, and private sessions. Use the link in my bio to book with me!
