Almost every call from a dog owner includes walking in the list of challenges to work on. While there are several variables that contribute to an enjoyable walk with your pup; the tools you use should be considered more. I often find owners are using a type of collar, leash, or harness that isn’t helping them achieve what they want, in fact it’s making things worse for them.
One of the tools I love and use with my own dogs and with clients are the long line and lead from my friend Brian Agnew of The Dynamic Lead. Troubles walking, introduce the Power Loop into the training plan, allow the dog time to get used to it, combined with the rest of our training plan, and walks become more enjoyable.
