Some people believe that dogs pull on the leash because they want to be a pack leader or dominant over the owner. I believe there is a much simpler explanation. Dogs simply love to be outside!
This 4-week leash manners course will teach you different walking techniques and useful commands to make your daily walks enjoyable for both of you.
Each week you’ll receive an e-package with useful videos, fact sheets and coursework. You can ask questions in our live Q&A sessions or via the chat on the bottom right corner and interact with other dog owners in the forums.
