In today’s tutorial, we explore the fundamental technique of leash pressure in dog training, a crucial skill that teaches your dog to respond positively to commands rather than resisting them. This method is all about communication and understanding, guiding your dog gently to comply with commands such as 'sit' and 'stay,' and reinforcing boundaries.

We start with the basics of applying leash pressure, demonstrating how to initiate the pressure and the importance of releasing it the moment your dog complies. This balance ensures that the training remains stress-free and effective. For instance, to teach a sit command, we apply upward leash pressure until the dog feels it, then use a food lure to guide the dog into a sitting position. The instant the dog sits, the pressure is released. This process is repeated until the dog begins to sit with the mere application of leash pressure, showcasing their understanding of following the leash’s guidance.

This video serves as a step-by-step guide to mastering leash pressure, using it as a tool to unlock teachable moments between you and your dog. Watch as I demonstrate how to transition from using a food lure to relying solely on leash cues, emphasizing the smooth and cooperative nature of this training method.

As with our previous video on the "Around Command," we encourage creativity and adaptation in applying these techniques. Imagine the potential of combining leash pressure with other commands to enhance your dog's obedience and your communication with them.

Remember, the essence of successful dog training lies in making the experience enjoyable and rewarding for your dog. By utilizing leash pressure effectively, you create a positive training environment that encourages your dog to embrace learning eagerly. This video aims to inspire you to harness the power of gentle guidance through leash pressure, deepening your bond with your dog through clear communication and mutual respect.
