Most dogs don’t pull on walks because they’re stubborn or untrained — they pull because they’re frustrated. In this video, I break down why common dog walking advice often makes pulling worse, not better, and how giving your dog the right kind of freedom can actually lead to calmer, easier walks. You’ll learn: • Why short leashes often create tension and pulling • How long lines can help dogs walk more naturally and calmly • How to encourage your dog to check in with you voluntarily • Why letting dogs explore safely builds better leash skills • How to make walks less of a battle and more of a partnership Whether you’re working with a puppy, a reactive dog, or a strong puller, this approach helps dogs move through the world with more confidence and less frustration — without force or constant correction. If your dog struggles on walks, this perspective may change how you see leash walking entirely. Join the revolution at zakgeorge.com
