Teaching your dog loose leash walking can seem challenging. After all, it is in a dog’s nature to run at full speed whenever they get a chance. However, with some patience and consistency, you can help your dog master this skill. Alternatively, you can also try out a genius hack that was recently shared by one dog owner on TikTok.
In a helpful video uploaded to @goodboystetson TikTok profile, the dog owner can be seen walking alongside her pupper named Stetson and holding a wooden spoon covered in peanut butter in front of canine’s snout. The dog was so focused on the spoon that he forgot all about his running instinct.
“Might’ve found a hack for loose leash walking … God bless puppy raiser’s backs … If you know you KNOW,” Stetson’s owner wrote in the caption of the video.
A lot of other dog owners were intrigued by the idea, while some also shared their own hacks that are helpful when training puppers for loose leash walking.
“Genius! Thanks for sharing this tip!,” @erbear111 wrote in the comments section.
“Def recommend the tennis ball throwers, they’re longer so your back will be saved lol,” @mischiefscarlett98 added.
So there you have it. If you want to give your dog a crash course in loose leash walking, try this method. You might be surprised by the results.
