34 | Why Leash Position Matters: The Key to Leading Your Fearful Dog with Confidence


Listen Later

Hey dog lover!

Have you ever wondered if your dog should always be walking behind you? Does it matter? And what about sniffing?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about leash position.

Does it really matter if your dog walks behind you?

The answer is yes, but maybe not in the way you think.

I’ll explain the dynamics between you and your dog and when it's important to take the lead.

You’ll learn how your position on the leash impacts your fearful dog’s ability to handle perceived threats and why being in the right spot is crucial. Discover how positioning yourself "in-between" can help build your dog's confidence and allow you to guide them through tough situations.


And If you would like to explore this topic further with me by your side, then I’ve got great news!

The Fearful Dog: Fearless Framework is now open for enrollment. In this program, we’ll dive deep into building your dog's confidence and developing your communication skills—without relying on traditional training methods. You’ll learn how to guide your dog through fear, rebuild trust, and create lasting change in both your mindset and your dog's behavior.


To get all the details and join me, head over to beyondobedience.ca/fearless.


See you Thursday!

(oh yeah! we are also going to hang out 2x/week now! yay!🎉)
