Pulling Leash Frequently Asked Questions...

Why does my lab pull on the leash?

Because they are excited about life, and being with you, and seeing other dogs and other people!

How do I stop it?

1) Purchase a Gentle Leader or a Halti
2) Play with your dog in the backyard or a park before continuing on your walk - this will tire them out
3) Walk faster than your dog
4) Teach them the "Heel" command - learn how in an intro obedience class!
