🐶 Why Dogs Pull on Leash – And How to Stop It
Does your dog turn every walk into a tug-of-war? You’re not alone. Leash pulling is one of the most common behavior issues dog owners face. But the good news is — it’s fixable!
In this blog, we’ll explore why dogs pull on the leash, and give you simple, proven tips to stop leash pulling for good.
🐾 Why Do Dogs Pull on the Leash?
-
Excitement Overload
Walks are the highlight of your dog’s day. All those smells, sights, and sounds create sensory overload, and they want to get to everything — fast. -
Lack of Training
Dogs aren’t born knowing how to walk politely. Without training, they learn that pulling gets them where they want to go. -
Wrong Equipment
Using the wrong leash or collar can make pulling worse. Some leashes actually encourage tugging by giving the dog too much control.
🐾 How to Stop Your Dog from Pulling
✅ Use the Right Leash
A tangle-free, retractable leash can help you stay in control and reduce frustration. Our Dual Retractable Dog Leash is ideal for training two dogs or giving your pup a bit more freedom without losing control.
✨ Comfortable grip
✨ Adjustable length
✨ Smooth brake & lock system
✅ Teach “Loose Leash” Walking
Practice rewarding your dog for walking beside you with a slack leash. Stop walking the second they pull, and only continue once the leash is loose again. Be patient — consistency is key!
✅ Tire Them Out Before Walks
A short play session before your walk can help burn off some of that extra energy and make it easier for them to focus on walking calmly.
✅ Be Consistent
Mixed signals confuse your dog. Make sure all family members use the same leash and walking rules so your dog knows what to expect.
