Often dog owners have to resort to such a measure as tugging at their pet's leash during a walk.

It is believed that this can be used to calm a dog down, but experts do not recommend doing this, just as they do not recommend yelling at a dog or using physical force.

Why not?

By such actions the owner will not achieve obedience from the animal. Most likely the dog will become afraid of the owner.

The worst thing is that one day the animal’s patience will run out and it will attack the person who at that moment pulls its leash or causes any other inconvenience.

Moreover, this can happen at any time, for example, during a visit to the veterinarian or on a walk.

According to experts, in this regard, dogs are not much different from people who endure discomfort for a long time and then take out the accumulated negativity on the first person they meet.

How to do the right thing

To get what you want from a dog, you need to do everything so that the pet feels safe next to the owner.

And this can only be achieved through patience.
