In this video, Michael Ellis shows you how to properly hold a leash depending on the direction of pull you want to apply to your dog while applying leash pressure. The way you apply leash pressure will affect the way your dog reacts to it, and if done incorrectly, could cause added stress to your dog.

This video is taken directly from Leerburg’s new online course, Leash Skills with Michael Ellis.
