Walking your dog should be relaxing, but leash pulling makes outings stressful. Nearly 70% of dogs develop leash-related frustration before age two (Herron, Shofer, & Reisner, 2009). Many owners turn to choke chains or prong collars, which may stop pulling temporarily but increase stress and even aggression.
Instead, reward calm walking and use structured guidance. Tools like a no-pull harness, a front-clip reflective leash, or a waterproof adjustable dog harness reduce pulling humanely. Pairing training with high-value treats and consistency ensures better results. Outfitting your dog with the right gear supports comfort, safety, and strengthens trust.
At Interventions Canines, we teach families to apply these science-backed techniques so walks become enjoyable again.
