How leash coaching usually builds
- Fitting your dog with gear that works, such as a flat collar or front-clip harness and a six-foot leash.
- Rewarding your dog for staying beside you on a calm block.
- Practicing turns, halts and speed changes to keep your dog tuned in to you.
- Adding mild distractions like birds, bikes and distant dogs.
- Scheduling walks for cooler hours and testing the pavement with your hand.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Will a harness cure pulling?
A well-fitted front-clip harness can reduce how well pulling works, but your dog still needs to learn where to walk. Gear helps, and practice teaches.
Where should I practice near Augusta?
Start on a quiet street. Once your dog handles passing bikes, try a paved route such as the River Levee Trail. Read posted rules at each entrance.
My dog only pulls toward other dogs. Is that leash work?
If the dog is excited and friendly, leash coaching often covers it. If it barks or lunges out of upset, read the behavior guide.
How soon will walks feel better?
Many people notice a difference within a few weeks of brief daily practice. Crowded places take longer.
