I know… Using a 33-foot leash to teach a dog to stick close to you sounds completely counterintuitive, right? But here’s the surprising twist: letting your dog roam and explore with this extra freedom can actually make them more likely to choose to stay near you in the future 🤯 When dogs experience autonomy during training, like choos

What questions do you have about loose leash walking? How do you think Orion the shelter dog did during his very first leash training session? We took him out of the shelter on this day to give him some love & a little bit of training. So of course we wanted to practice some loose leash walking while we had the chance! 🐕✨ | Zak George
