Graeme Hall’s “invisible box” technique can be used to help stop your dog from pulling on the lead. This technique involves having your dog remain in a certain area around you in which he is not allowed to cross. When your dog starts to pull on the lead, you should immediately stop and not move until your dog has stopped pulling. This will help your dog to learn that pulling on the lead will not result in any reward. Additionally, you should reward your dog when he is walking without pulling, as this will reinforce the desired behavior. You should also ensure that the lead is not too tight, as this can cause discomfort and encourage your dog to pull.

How do I train my dog to walk on a leash without tugging?
Training your dog to walk on a leash without tugging requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Start by introducing your dog to the leash and collar or harness. Let him get used to the feeling of wearing it. When you start walking, the goal is to keep the leash slack. If your dog starts to pull, stop and stand still until the leash relaxes. When it does, reward your dog with a treat and praise. As your dog becomes more comfortable with the leash, you can add verbal cues to help guide him. Make sure to reward your dog for good behavior and be consistent with your commands. With patience and practice, your dog will soon learn to walk on a leash without tugging.

How do I get my dog to stop pulling on the leash Cesar Millan?
Cesar Millan recommends using a combination of the Pack Leader Collar and the Training Leash to help your dog learn to stop pulling on the leash.

Then, when your dog begins to pull on the leash, stop immediately, and hold the leash tightly to your wrist. Once your dog stops pulling, start walking again and reward them for good behavior. Over time, your dog will learn that pulling on the leash does not have a positive outcome and will begin to walk on a loose leash.
