THE “PACK LEADERSHIP WALK”

WHAT IS IT? 

When the dog no longer pulls you and starts to follow you.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO STOP THE PULLING?

• A dog that pulls is likely to become more aggressive as time goes on.

• Most dogs that pull do not get walked.

• A dog that pulls usually develops a gag reflex due to trachea damage.

• A dog that pulls can cause injury to the owner by damaging their rotator cuff or worse by pulling them in front of a moving vehicle.

THE BENEFIT OF A DOG THAT FOLLOWS YOU 

VERSUS THE DOG THAT PULLS YOU

• The dog becomes much calmer.

• Psychologically the dog sees you as the pack leader versus the person that they have to constantly protect.

• The people you meet learn to relax because they see you in full control of your dog.

• Training for other activities (playing ball, fetch, etc) becomes easier because the dog sees you as the one they must listen to.

• The dog will start giving you dog love known as adoration.

WHAT IS ADORATION?

• Adoration is when the dog is looking at you like their long lost 4 legged mother. A dog will do anything for its mother.

• Training becomes easier because the dog tries harder to please you.

• Adoration is always a salute to you as the most important person in the dog’s life.
