✅ Final Part 4 is here: Choosing the Right Leash
This is the last piece of the series that ties everything together.
Mistake #3: Using the wrong leash (especially retractable ones) is possibly making your walks worse.
I personally use a slip lead that goes over the neck and nose — it gives gentle, effective guidance and helps dogs stop pulling fast.
Combine all 3 fixes:
✅ Stop letting your dog lead
✅ Limit distractions
✅ Use the right leash (my slip lead)
…and your walks will feel completely different.
Comment below 👇 on which leash you like the best or find most effective.

The other day we talked about three mistakes dog owners might be making on walks with their dogs, one of them being letting their dogs lead. If walks feel like a battle, if you are getting pulled around, or your dog completely ignores you…this is the root of the problem. I’ll be showing you how to take back control by limiting distractions and finding the right leash. Follow me so you are sure to see part 3! #dogboarding #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #dogsofminnesota #dogboardingbusiness
