How do I stop my Lab from pulling on leash?

By · Updated

Short answer

Combine a front-clip harness with short daily reward-based loose-leash sessions. Stop moving when the leash tightens, and walk forward when it slackens. Meeting your Lab’s exercise needs helps too, because a tired Lab pulls noticeably less on every sidewalk walk.
