Firstly we should understand why a dog pulls, it is either:
Anticipation: "Yeah we going to the park" this one normally does not pull on the way back from the park! but is an absolute nightmare getting there.
Control: This one wants to control most things, from controlling the lead to the speed you walk. This control freak normally pulls at all times both to and from the park.
Fear: Only pulls on the way back from the park so he can get back to the safety of the house. This type of puller normally suffers from traffic noise, lead aversion or agoraphobia.
The Lead: Strangely enough many dogs pull because of the type of lead you have. Let me explain by quoting one of the principal laws of physics. Also known as Newton's Law. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These forces are called action and reaction and are the subject of Isaac Newton's third law of motion. Simply put for every Ying there is a Yang for every pull there is a push.
So you pull the dog back and physics takes over, he just has to push against your pull and bingo you have a nightmare lead walking. Isn't it strange that often dogs walk perfectly well off the lead but are an absolute nightmare when you clip the lead on.
I knew all that time at school listening to my physics teacher (I think we called them science masters), would prove useful one day. Because of my beliefs I designed and developed a lead that would be the correct length for training dogs in all disciplines. Not just to stop pulling but for many other problems as well, young Isaac would have been proud of me.
