Stop Your Dog from Pulling on the Lead – The Right Way to Use a Slip Collar
Walking your dog should be enjoyable—not a constant battle. In this video, we show you how to use a slip collar correctly to stop your dog from pulling on the lead.
Key Points Covered in the Video:
🐾 Proper Collar Placement: To be effective, the slip collar must sit high on your dog’s neck—just below the ears. This gives you better control and helps the dog understand corrections more clearly.
🐾 How to Correct Pulling: As you walk, the moment your dog tries to go ahead of you, apply a quick correction with the lead (a sharp tug and immediate release). This lets your dog know that pulling is not acceptable.
🐾 Timing is Everything: The correction must happen at the exact moment your dog starts pulling—not after. As soon as your dog comes back beside you, loosen the lead right away to reward the calm position.
🐾 It’s Communication—Not Punishment: This technique is not about hurting your dog. It’s about teaching them calmly and clearly what’s expected during the walk. Consistency and good timing make all the difference.
By following these simple steps, you can turn your walks into calm, enjoyable experiences for both you and your dog.
