Empathetic Leash Training for Dogs

Sarah Hodgson reimagines the leash from a dog’s perspective, where every walk is less about destination and more about discovery. She explores why pulling occurs, how to balance sniffing with structure, and simple ways to turn leash time into a shared experience rather than a power struggle. Also included are listener questions tackling real-life challenges, from excited jumping to bolting at the door, with tips on harnesses, threshold training, and calm walking cues. Whether you’re managing a playful puppy or a strong puller, you’ll find practical strategies to make walks safer, smoother, and more enjoyable for you both.
