Leash Training Your Dog: A Gentle, Step-by-Step Guide for Stress-Free Walks

Leash training is more than teaching your dog not to pull—it's the foundation of a trusting partnership that makes every walk a joy rather than a tug-of-war. This warm, practical handbook guides you through understanding your dog's natural walking instincts, selecting the right collar or harness, and building calm, focused behavior step by step. You'll learn how to handle pulling, leash reactivity, and fear with patience and proven techniques, plus discover how your dog's temperament, diet, grooming needs, and overall health directly affect training success. Whether you're starting with a bouncy puppy or helping an adult dog unlearn old habits, each chapter offers clear instructions, realistic schedules, and troubleshooting tips for real-world situations—from quiet neighborhood strolls to busy sidewalks and trail hikes. Written with the same calm encouragement that defines The Happy Pet Library, this book helps you and your dog enjoy years of safe, happy walks together. Part of The Happy Pet Library.
