Not all dogs or not always are distinguished by obedience during a walk. Most often, animals show their wayward character when trying to "walk the owner".
But before you start reading advice on how to stop your dog from pulling on the leash, you need to understand the reasons for the phenomenon.
Why does a dog do this? Tulsky1 writes, citing dog experts.
Why does a dog pull on a leash?
The reason is that the dog is not interested in just walking alongside while its owner is simultaneously studying the contents of the news feed on the smartphone.
The dog will get bored and, noticing something interesting, will certainly react and change its behavior.
In such cases, it is wrong to tug on the leash.
How to change animal behavior
Having found out the reason, there is only one option left. You need to make it so that the dog becomes interested in walking with its owner again.
If the owner switches the pet's attention to himself, to a toy, or in some other way interests the dog, then the walk will again go according to the person's plan.
If the situation is not new, it makes sense to train your pet to behave in a similar manner.
