Top 3 tips to fix that walk 🦮🙌🏻

If I could only focus on 3 things to build a loose leash walk, it’d be these:

🎾 1. Build engagement first.

Your dog should think you’re the most exciting part of the walk, not everything happening around them. Play together, train together, make spending time with you genuinely rewarding.

🍖 2. Mark and reward the position you want.

So many people only notice the mistakes. Instead, catch your dog walking beside you, say “Yes!” and reward it. The behaviours that get reinforced are the behaviours that get repeated.

↩️ 3. Use the left turn.

When your dog charges ahead, calmly turn left into their space instead of letting them lead. You’re giving clear information about where you want them to be, then the moment they find that position… mark it and reward it. Clarity beats conflict every time.

💙 Loose leash walking isn’t about having a “perfect” dog. It’s about hundreds of little wins that slowly become a habit.
