Large and medium-sized dogs are quite strong animals, so if they pull on the leash, the owner will feel extremely uncomfortable during a walk.
In winter, this habit of your pet can even cause you to fall.
Why does an animal pull on a leash?
Shy dog
We do not always correctly interpret the behavior of our pets. For example, some dogs may be afraid of walks in the city.
The dog feels scared because of the abundance of people, a huge number of smells, loud sounds and cars. Such dogs need to be accustomed to walking in the city gradually.
You don't walk enough
Experts note that medium and large sized dogs need to walk quite a lot, as they are active animals.
If you walk too little, the dog will behave badly on the street.
So you just need to go for a walk more often.
Habit
Some owners ignore problematic behavior for years and then want to wean their dog off the leash in just a few days.
Such miracles do not happen.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to accustom the dog to normal walks from an early age, preventing dominance.
