• Don’t allow pulling to work for your dog.

• Be the leader - literally!  Don’t allow your dog to decide where to walk, how fast or when to stop.

• The collar should be snug and worn high on the dog’s neck for best control.

• Check and reposition the collar as needed.

• Keep your leash short with just enough slack that your dog can feel the difference between a loose      and tight leash.

• Choose a side to walk your dog on and stick with it.  If you are interested in teaching heeling as well      choose the left side.

• As soon as your dog pulls say “Eheh!” or “No!”, back up several feet and reposition your dog at your      side.

• When your dog is walking politely at your side give  him a tasty treat.

• If your dog is already a strong, persistent puller, talk with an instructor about which training tool might    be right for you and your dog.
