Leash Handling

Alright, let's talk about leash handling. Here's my dog. I'm behind the dog. If I want to have more control, I can move sideways and pull the dog this way, because it will hold the dog off-center. If I pull backwards, the dog will dig in and have more power. If this dog tried to come back at me and I wanted to keep tension on the line, because that right there is about where I want the tension, I like a little bit of tension. So let's say the dog started coming at me. Pull, pull, and then this hand takes up the slack. So I can go in and out. The dog is welcome to go anywhere they want. That is not a problem. I'm going to keep the leash up. And if I come in or the dog comes in, that is what I do. So I have one hand for the slack, and then this is the hand. The dog is welcome to pull it out. So like that, that is no problem for me. The dog can feel me just fine right there. Now what happens if the dog is circling? So I bring the dog around, and as the dog comes back up to this side, the dog tries to lunge forward. Well, remember, if you're going backwards and the dog is circling, and you are bringing in the line, by the time the dog gets back around to this side, you have a short line. It's your choice. You can have the dog way out here. But as soon as that dog is coming up, as long as you are moving away, the dog will shorten up the line on its own.
