Graeme Hall, known as The Dogfather, emphasizes the importance of using the right equipment for walking dogs, particularly focusing on harnesses and lead lengths. A well-fitted harness attached at the chest allows for better control, while the correct lead length prevents pulling and potential accidents. Hall recommends a J shape lead for effective management. Additionally, he advises that training should be gentle, rewarding good behavior, and maintaining safety by consulting professionals for aggressive dogs. Distance is key when addressing reactivity to other dogs during walks, ensuring a calm environment for training to take place.
Firstly, make sure that you have got the right equipment, says Graeme Hall, AKA The Dogfather, a dog trainer, presenter of Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly and author of Does My Dog Love Me?
If your lead is too short, you've already shot yourself in the foot, because the dog is going to pull against that tension.
