📝 Why Your Dog Pulls on the Leash (and How to Fix It)

Is walking your dog more of a workout than a relaxing stroll? You're not alone. Leash pulling is one of the most common complaints I hear as a dog trainer in Omaha—and the good news is, it's fixable.

Dogs pull because it works. They want to sniff something, meet another dog, or move faster—and the pulling gets them there. The key is to teach them that staying close gets better results (rewards).

I use positive reinforcement to teach loose leash walking. That means we reward calm walking near you and teach dogs that pulling gets them nowhere. No harsh corrections. No prong collars. Just clear communication and consistent feedback.

If your dog is dragging you down the sidewalk, let’s fix it—together.
