Board & Train Day 1: The Tight Leash Mistake (Pressure On / Pressure Off)

Описание: The Big Mistake Most Dog Owners Make (And How To Fix It)

Most dog owners don’t realize they’re teaching their dog the exact opposite of what they want… just by keeping the leash tight all the time.

In the first few seconds of this vlog you’ll see it clearly: constant tension = constant confusion. Then we jump into the training room where I show what we do on Day 1 of a Board & Train—teaching clear communication using pressure ON and pressure OFF (aka: the dog learns what “turn the pressure off” means by making the right choice).

If your dog pulls, forges, drags you, or you feel like you’re “fighting the leash” every walk—this will help you understand what to change immediately.

✅ In this video, you’ll learn:

Why a tight leash becomes the “normal” your dog stops responding to

How dogs actually understand leash pressure (and how they don’t)

The foundation we start with on Day 1 to create clarity and calmer walking

What “pressure on / pressure off” really means (without yanking or nagging)

⚠️ Quick safety note:
Don’t jerk or pop the leash aggressively—timing and release matter more than force. If you’re not sure how to apply this fairly, work with a qualified trainer who can coach you in-person.
