Leash Manners

Leash Manners describe the dog’s behavior while the handler is holding the leash

• No pulling

• No leaning into/against handler

Corrections:

• Correct in the direction that you want the dog to go

• If dog is pulling, correct away from the direction that they’re pulling

Tips:

• Praise good manners

• Keep leash in right hand so that left hand is free for giving a hand signal

• Choose a phrase that you use for motivation

  • ex: “Let’s go!”

  • Do NOT use “Come on”

    • Come is a formal command that means something else
