Tug of war

It’s not the stress-free walk you had in mind when your enthusiastic pooch drags you along the street, pulling your arm out of its socket.

GRAEME SAYS: “The biggest and simplest problem with lead walking is that we pull the lead and the dog pulls forward, getting into a tug of war. The golden rule is to make sure you’re not creating your own problem pulling on the lead – give it enough slack to create a J-shape.”
