Hey Everyone!

My latest video is on the human end of the loose leash walking game. Last week I talked about my strategy to train and maintain loose leash walking, and this week I talk about the leash I use and why, how to hold it, and how I reinforce to create a reinforcement zone by my hip. This strategy helps prevent forging or crossing over your body. There's a lot of different ways to use cookies to reinforce heel position, but I find this way to work most consistently with the dogs that I've trained.

As always, ad-free until released publicly on Friday. I'm also putting the products I use in this video as well as the public videos I have that address loose leash walking down below.

Remember, if you order anything on Amazon, if you go to the DOGGY•U Shop (amazon.com/shop/doggyu) before ordering or click on any of my links, I get a small percentage of the sale, at no additional cost to you. It's always appreciated and another great way to support any online creator that has an Amazon shop! You don't need to buy the products I recommend. As long as you click on the link, anything you purchase within 24 hours gives me a small credit to my account.

(Big thanks to the person who had a huge purchase earlier this week! Definitely helps with purchasing new equipment and training aids for the channel!)
