Dogs often pull on the leash while walking.
In this article we will tell you why this happens, why it is dangerous and what to do about it.
Why does the dog pull on the leash
As a rule, the animal pulls on the leash to feel like a leader in relation to the person.
The pet strives to independently choose the direction of your walk.
Thus, an adult dog shows disrespect for the owner and tries to impose his own desires on him.
This behavior can only be tolerated during leash training. Then it is important to correct this.
Why could this be dangerous
By pulling the leash, you risk damaging your pet's vital organs.
For example, lymph nodes, hyoid bone, spine, trachea and larynx or thyroid gland.
This applies to any type of collar, no matter how soft and thoughtful they may be.
How to stop your dog from pulling on the leash too fast
Stop walking immediately when the leash begins to tighten.
Teach your dog that walking next to you with a loose leash means your pet can move forward. To pull means to stand still.
As soon as the leash begins to tighten, stop. Stand still, remain calm, and do not move forward until the dog loosens the leash.
If you cannot cope with the problem on your own, contact a dog handler for help.
