Teaching Loose Leash Walking
We don't want to create fear and reactivity, so we don't use prong collars or choke collars. Instead, we start with a front-clip harness. This is why:
Equipment for teaching dogs to walk politely on-leash include:
*A clicker (or the ability to click with your tongue)
*A 6-foot leash
*A front-clip harness, such as a Freedom Harness or Balance Harness
*Treats that the dog likes a lot.
*A quiet place with very few or now distractions
