You’re not doing it wrong, and your dog isn’t broken. You just need a plan that fits this dog.
Why dogs pull (it isn’t dominance)
Dogs pull because it works: they pull, they get closer to the good stuff. Humans are also slow and boring by dog standards. No-pull harnesses help manage it, but lasting change comes from teaching that a loose leash is what makes the walk go.
What loose-leash training looks like
- Reward position: making your side the best place to be
- Stop-and-go so pulling never pays
- Managing distractions with distance
- Sniff breaks built into the walk
- Equipment that is comfortable and safe

Common questions
How long does it take to stop leash pulling?
Many owners see a real difference within 1-2 weeks of consistent practice. Strong pullers and dogs that also react to triggers take longer, which is where a trainer’s timing helps most.
Do prong or choke collars fix pulling?
They can suppress pulling through discomfort, but they don’t teach the dog what to do instead and can increase fear or reactivity. We recommend rewards-based methods only.
Is pulling a sign my dog is dominant?
No. Dominance theory has been widely set aside by behavior science. Pulling is a learned behavior that’s been rewarded by forward movement.
