Step 1
Secure the leash to the dog’s collar and ask her to sit on your right side.
-
Step 2
Hold the leash in your right hand and begin walking with your right foot first while verbally telling the dog to heel.
-
Step 3
Stop walking immediately and firmly plant your feet on the ground the moment the dog starts to strain against the leash.
-
Step 4
Ask the dog to come back to you by firmly saying "come" when she quizzically looks behind her to see why you are no longer moving. It may help to have small treats with you to encourage the dog to come back to you, which once again allows the leash to become slack.
-
Step 5
Begin walking again when the dog is by your side.
-
Step 6
Repeat steps three and four consistently until the dog makes the association that if he is pulling on the leash, he will not get anywhere.
-
Step 7
Praise your dog when he walks with you while the leash is slack.
