Dr. Nichol’s Video – Leash Walk Freak Out

Dr. Jeff Nichol, DVM, IAABC Veterinary Behaviorist

The leash walk – you’re only way of getting the heck out of the house – can be maddening and maybe even unsafe. Just seeing another creature causes your dog to growl and lurch, risking a human face plant. Jerk the leash and yell? There’s no future in it. You’re miserable, your dog is stressed, and your neighbors treat you like a pariah.
