3 Easy Ways to Get Your Dog to Stop Pulling on the Leash - Fast
Editor's Note: This handy article by Malacka Persa gives some practical tips for how to stop your boxer dog from pulling on its leash.
Dear Dog-Owner,
I can tell you're taking me out for a walk because I hear that familiar jingling of what you call a leash.
It's probably the most exciting sound I hear all day so you'll have to excuse me if I get a bit impatient and restless as you fasten the leash to my collar.
And yes, please forgive me if I charge out of the door and begin dragging you down the street while you clasp onto dear life holding the other end of the leash. You see... there are certain things I need to do in the short amount of time we're outside and we've got to get moving fast! But before we go, I'll let you in on a couple of secrets...
Now, I shouldn't be telling you this, because the next door neighbor's dog is going to be mighty upset if the word gets out. So promise me you won't mention it to him? Ok then.
There are three surefire things you can do right now to stop your dog from "walking you" down the street instead of the other way around...
First, hold the door open and then just let your dog pull and strain against the leash until (s)he realizes that you aren't going to begin the walk until your dog settles down. Now, it might take a while so just be patient.
Second, after placing the leash onto your dog's collar, walk him or her around your house, the back yard, the garage - anywhere EXCEPT outside for a normal walk.
Third, there's a little known fact that makes the first two steps "stick" so that your dog learns to stop pulling on the leash quickly and permanently. And you'll be surprised when you find out what it is.
It's used by professional dog trainers all over and it's something they'll charge you hundreds of dollars to learn.
Save your money and click below to discover the secret for yourself.
Yours in Success,
Malacka
