Lead Walking Mechanics

When working on lead walking mechanics, it’s important to deliver the reward from the same side as your puppy. For example, if your puppy is walking on your right-hand side, feed with your right hand. This helps keep your puppy in a straight position and prevents them from drifting across your body or tracking in front of you. Consistent reward placement like this supports better positioning and helps your puppy understand exactly where you would like them to be while walking on lead.
