Ideally, dogs should walk on a loose leash or in a "heel" position. If they see something they want, they can indicate a desire to go in that direction, but they shouldn't lunge or pull you. Lunging and pulling can hurt their necks, windpipes and backs... and it can injure your back as well! If they are lunging in an aggressive manner, then there's even more danger. If they get loose, they can hurt the animal or person they are going after. It's important to work with a qualified behaviorist to get your dog to be peaceful and calm on leash. The Pooch Coach can help you.

What is Leash Aggression?

Leash aggression can be caused by several different things. Often, it's just fear manifesting itself as aggression. Sometimes it's frustration. It also can be because the "flight or fight" response has kicked in, and the leash takes away the flight option.

We will help you understand the reason your dog has been reactive on leash, explain what your dog is experiencing and, ultimately, we will help you fix it.
