Is there a proper way to train your dog not to pull?

I got great tips by watching The Dog Whisperer.

I dont know what your using on her either a coller or harrness,but my wonderful dog “Bumper” whom I had for 13½ years,he always pulled when we walked him, at that time we used a coller,. People suggested we use a choker/chain type coller,I REFUSED… So we decided to try a harrness,and it worked Great ! Took him a bit to catch on but he did fine,if we tried again with his coller he would pull but put the harrness back on he didnt pull. Like I said not sure what your using on her,but if using a coller maybe try a harrness,worked for us. Good luck hope you find something that works.

Use a real leash, not a retractable leash.

Use a harness. Keep treats in your pocket and reward for proper behavior.

Ideally to stop the pulling, you will need to walk/run her until she’s tired, then take her for a stroll where people/animals are and train her to heel

If your dog is a puppy, you will need to be patient and throughly tire her before trying to train her to heel.

Get the leashes that are a harness around the muzzle instead of around the neck. They are called Gentle Leaders When they pull, their heads turn so they can’t continue to see what they were looking at in front of them.

I recommend practising walking your dog on the lead while holding a treat next to your leg to begin with. She will stay close to you because she will want to be close to the treat. Practise this a few times and reward her with the treat after a few steps (providing she stays in close). Once she has the hang of that start introducing a key word like “close” or “heal” and continue to reward her with the treat but start to increase the number of steps before rewarding her. After a while she should start to associate the “close/heal” word with being in close and getting a tasty reward. I would start by practising this in your garden or somewhere where there aren’t many distractions and she is more likely to concentrate. When she has the hang of it you can practise it on walks where she is more likely to be distracted. Hope this helps, it is how I train puppies that come to dog training classes.
