Walking On Leash
For your dog, leash walking doesn’t happen naturally. Dogs can get overwhelmed with the outside world with smells, sights, sounds, etc. High distractions are the cause of most pulling, lunging, barking, and whining behaviors during a walk. It is important to teach your dog as quickly as possible to remain calm around distractions. Guide your dog and teach him/her to walk nicely on leash. For some, extra tools or equipment to assist with training is helpful. Below are some tools that will help you to teach your dog to walk on leash.

The Gentle Leader will give you the most control without hurting your dog. Use this for severe pulling or reactivity. This product must be conditioned for your dogs comfort. Click here to watch training videos.

Leashes
Slip Leash
Recommended for larger guard or working dog’s. The Gentle Leader can sometimes cause anxiety in these working breeds. Try a slip lead instead.
6 Foot Leash
A 6 foot leash is the length we recommend for daily walking. It allows your dog enough room to explore, potty, and short enough to walk near your side without pulling. We do not recommend retractable leashes.
20 Foot Leash
A long leash works well for training at a distance. For example, a distance stay. You can also train with distractions or use this leash as a fun way to allow your dog to explore the area.
