Mad's Muse Loose Lead Walking Guide
Does your dog turn every walk into a tug-of-war? You're not alone — in fact, loose-lead walking is the single most common thing UK dog owners are working on right now, according to Dogs Trust's National Dog Survey of over 341,000 owners.
This free 7-page guide breaks it down into a clear, step-by-step method you can start using today — no jargon, no gimmicks, just what actually works.
Inside, you'll learn:
- Why pulling happens (and why it's not stubbornness or dominance)
- The right equipment to set your dog up for success
- A simple stop-and-wait method that teaches your dog pulling doesn't pay off
- How to build up from a quiet hallway to busy streets without setbacks
- What to do when it's not working yet — real troubleshooting for real dogs
Written by Anna, a qualified UK dog trainer and owner-trainer of assistance dogs, with real, evidence-based advice — not recycled internet tips.
This is part of a growing free training library from Mad's Muse, named in memory of Maddie. More guides — jumping up, recall, barking, and separation anxiety — are coming soon.
