Dogs are quite spirited and easily distracted, especially during walks. Meeting people, animals, taking in new sights, become quite distracting during walking, causing them to pull you along. The best dog walking tips to get your dog to stop pulling on a walk is to maintain some distance between the dog and the object of distraction. You can also use commands such as ‘sit’ or ‘stay’, to get them to calm down before resuming your walk. Physically coercion on the dog may provide only a temporary outcome, so you should focus on verbal motivation for better results.
