1-2-1 Lead Pulling Example

See how quickly an issue can be improved.

Notice the remarkable change in the dog's behaviour after just 10 minutes of training. Previously, the dogs were pulling on the lead and ignoring their owners. With simple adjustments in tone and body language, the dog is now walking calmly on the lead and responding attentively.

REMEMBER - If a dog will behave for Allan, they will behave for you as well!
