Loose lead walking

Walks you enjoy — without the tug-of-war.

Loose lead walking is more than stopping pulling. Your dog needs to learn where to be, how to notice you, and when they're free to sniff and explore. Megan will show you how to teach it step by step.

What we work on

Teach the behaviour you want.

Most dogs pull because pulling works. We change what works — so walking beside you becomes the easiest, most rewarding option.

Engagement first

Getting your dog's attention before you move — at the door, in the driveway, on the street.

Reward placement

Where you reward matters. Small changes make the right position obvious to your dog.

Lead handling

How to hold the lead, stop without jerking, and change direction smoothly.

Sniff breaks

Using sniffing as a reward so your dog gets what they need without pulling for it.

Distractions

Building up to other dogs, birds, bikes and smells in a way your dog can succeed.

Equipment

Choosing a comfortable harness and lead that make training easier, not harder.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does it take to stop pulling?
Many owners notice a difference in the first week of consistent practice. A reliable loose lead in busy places takes longer — usually a few weeks of short, regular sessions.
Should I use a head halter or no-pull harness?
Equipment can help with management, but it doesn't teach your dog where to be. Megan will help you choose comfortable gear and train the skill itself.
My dog is fine until they see another dog.
That may be reactivity or frustration rather than just pulling. Have a look at behaviour support or mention it in your enquiry.
