The biggest mistake I see people make with teaching their dog loose leash walking? They think the goal is for their dog to walk perfectly beside them.
I’m not a dog trainer that requires your dog to be glued to your side for the entire walk.
Honestly, as long as there is slack in the leash (like in the video above) and they are checking back in with you; that’s all that matters.
Your dog should be able to sniff, explore, look around and enjoy their walk without constantly being corrected for not being in the perfect position.
The goal of loose leash walking is “you can explore your environment while still staying connected to me”
That’s a more realistic and enjoyable goal for both of you! 💕🦮
