Dogs walk faster than us and pulling has worked, it moved them forward. Simple learned economics.
Loose-leash walking is one of the slowest skills for every owner. Weeks of stop-and-go is completely normal.
All of these are in the Pawty Marketplace, filtered to retailers that deliver to your country.
Pawty is educational content, not veterinary or behavioural advice. See a veterinarian for any sudden behaviour change or sign of pain, and a qualified behaviourist in person if your dog has bitten, guards with snapping, or panics when left alone. Read our approach.
Pawty also has 99 training skills in 3-minute sessions you rate 1 to 5 paws, streaks that freeze instead of reset, and a care calendar. Free. No subscription, no paywall.
