Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my dog pull?
Pulling gets the dog where it wants to go, so it works. Training shows that a slack leash gets rewards instead.
Is a harness okay?
Many trainers like harnesses, and a few like other tools. Ask about each and follow the trainer's explanation.
How long until recall is solid?
Recall takes steady practice over weeks or months. Start easy and raise difficulty slowly.
Where should I practice?
A quiet driveway or fenced spot first, then busier areas. Check posted rules for parks.
