From my own experience, I’ve learned that leash training isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Every dog is different, and real progress takes time, patience, and consistency. When my dog starts pulling, I stop right away and take a couple of steps back, or I’ll turn and walk in the opposite direction to reset her focus. I’ve also seen how powerful praise can be, even just a few seconds of calm, loose-leash walking deserves encouragement.
