@goldenboy.otis_: That choking sound on walks makes me wince every time I hear it… so when Otis suddenly started pulling recently, I knew we needed to address it properly. What’s been working for us is resetting the walk instead of dragging him back Stop walking. Call them back beside you. Reward when they come back. Then start walking again and reward when the lead stays loose for a few steps. They figure out pretty quickly that pulling stops the walk… but a loose lead keeps it going We’re definitely not experts…just first time puppy owners sharing what’s working for us and Otis #goldenretrieverpuppy #puppytraining #newpuppy #looselead #puppywalks
