In this episode of Pandemic Puppy, Kayla discusses leash skills for you and your puppy! 
 
It’s not entirely necessary for your dog to walk perfectly on leash
Pulling will always be self reinforcing, so it can take a lot of patience and persistence to teach loose leash walking

Your equipment wont teach your dog what to do, you will teach your dog what to do
You can teach your dogs to pull on certain equipment and not to pull on other equipment, if it is of benefit to you
To start, you can reward your dog for position and check ins
It can get worse before it gets better
You can start in the house then start building distractions and distance
Record keeping your sessions will help you!
If your puppy starts pulling you can stop moving or go in a different direction
Start slow and take your time, don’t expect too much too soon
