Are you walking your dog or imitating a caboose on a train? Sometimes problems with pulling on leash start before the walk even begins. If you cannot get your dog’s attention something else has it, and chances are your dog is going to pull toward whatever that might be.
Never start a walk without eye contact. Moreover, make sure your name recognition is effective in the face of distractions. Practice getting your dog’s attention outside, before you start your walk.
