Leash training is the process of teaching a dog to walk calmly on a leash without pulling or lunging. This training helps establish good behavior during walks, making it safer and more enjoyable for both the dog and the owner. It typically involves using a collar or harness and a leash to guide the dog while rewarding them for staying close and following commands. Effective leash training often includes positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats or praise, to encourage desired behaviors. Consistency and patience are key, as dogs may take time to learn proper leash manners. Regular practice in different environments can also help reinforce these skills.
