Why Dogs Pull on Walks
Dogs pull for lots of reasons—excitement, curiosity, or simply because they’ve learned it gets them where they want to go. Unfortunately, constant pulling can:
-
Strain your dog’s neck and joints
-
Put you at risk of falls or injuries
-
Make walks stressful instead of fun
The key? Combining training techniques with the right gear.
Trainer-Approved Tips to Reduce Pulling
-
Stay Consistent – Reward calm walking with treats or praise. Stop moving when your dog pulls to teach them pulling doesn’t “work.”
-
Use Positive Reinforcement – Guide your pup back to your side with a treat when they walk calmly.
-
Short Training Sessions – Practice in short bursts until your pup learns that walking nicely = rewards.
-
Upgrade Your Gear – A no-pull harness and secure leash are game-changers in managing pulling safely.
Why Harnesses Beat Collars for Pullers
Unlike collars that put pressure on the neck, a no-pull harness distributes pressure across your dog’s chest. This makes it:
-
Safer – No choking or trachea strain
-
More Comfortable – Encourages natural movement
-
More Effective – Gives you better control
👉 Explore the Dogistry Step-In No-Pull Harness for safe, stylish control on every walk.
The Power of the Right Leash
A good leash is just as important as the harness. Look for:
-
Adjustable length – Short for busy streets, long for open parks
-
Secure hardware – Strong clips to prevent escapes
-
Comfort grip – Keeps your hands comfortable, even with strong pullers
👉 Try the Dogistry Secure-in-Place Leash, designed with premium materials and a built-in safety buckle.
