Lesson 2: Pulling on Lead

Heel! It's time for our second Training Academy video. In this episode, Gwen shows Ryan how he can get five month old Bruno to walk to heel on the lead.

It's an important skill for Bruno (and Ryan) to master; if your dog pulls on the lead it doesn't make for a relaxing walk. Gwen shows you simple steps you can follow with your own dog. With a bit of practice, you'll soon be as good as this pair.

And isn't Bruno a star? He was abandoned on the doorstep of a pet shop, but luckily Ryan was able to take him in. These days, Bruno's got lots of energy and loves to play.

Please note: Although these videos are only a few minutes long, the filming for each took several hours. Training a dog is not quick to do and requires a lot of patience, practice and experimentation to achieve the best results.
