#28: I want my dog to listen. Where do I start?

Episode summary

In this episode, we tackle a common challenge dog owners face: getting your dog to listen and respond. Whether you’re struggling with leash pulling, unwanted behaviors, or simply want a more responsive dog, Susan shares strategies to improve communication. From understanding leash pressure to creating better connections with your dog, this episode will help you start on the right path toward better training.

Key Insights ✨

✨Leash pulling often stems from a misunderstanding between you and your dog. By teaching your dog that pulling against the leash leads to pressure, not forward movement, you help them understand how to behave. Using clear physical cues, like leash pressure and body language, can often be more effective than verbal commands alone. The key to success is consistency, by reinforcing good leash manners regularly, you’ll ensure lasting results and a more enjoyable walk for both of you.
