If you think loose leash walking starts at the end of your driveway, you are already behind. It starts inside your house.

In this episode, I walk you through the mindset shift that changes everything. Stop trying to control your dog with the leash. Start becoming someone your dog wants to follow. Dogs are wired to resist restraint. The more pressure we use, the more they lean. So when we rely on the leash to manage behaviour, we often create the very opposition we are trying to stop.

What if the leash became information instead of control?

I break down the simple, practical steps you can use inside your home, in two to five minute sessions, to build a dog who chooses to stay close. A thinking dog. A fulfilled dog. A dog who sees you as the most comfortable and interesting option in the room. No perfect weather required. No marathon walks. Just clarity, consistency, and small daily reps that build real followership.

Loose leash walking is not about tightening and correcting. It is about building choice. And that changes everything.
