      The Goal

      While for most dog trainers and book authors the goal with Leash Training is 'no more pulling' or 'perfect heeling', for us here this is not the goal - these are mere side effects that will be achieved automatically.

      Instead, our goal with Leash Training is to replace the leash with the Recall. To make the leash the last resort. As it should be.

      Why?

      Look: What is the purpose of putting a dog on-leash if we can call our dog reliably to us, and the dog stays with us until we give the cue to release the dog? Exactly: In all such cases, the leash becomes irrelevant.

      Since you got this book as a dog lover (see the book title), you too hopefully don't want to subject your dog to an unnecessary restraint, right?

      In fact, the typical leash walk harms behavior and health of both dog and owner.

      What did he just say??

      The typical leash walk harms behavior and health of both dog and owner:

      The typical leash walk is that dog owners (and even professional dog trainers!) walk their dog on a tight leash. Or rather, the dog walks the owner. The dog pulls so much and so abrupt that the owner may fall over or strains the shoulder, elbow, wrist joint, or back, and is in agony! Can you relate?

      All seen countless times with my own eyes. Plus, at mygermanshepherd.org we get a LOT of 'dog problem' reports from members and visitors alike (German Shepherds have enormous pull power!) - and even if the dog owner doesn't mention a leash problem, I can conclude from the other reported problems that the owner has a leash problem too.

      The typical leash walk ruins both the dog's and the owner's joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons - and nerves! Plus, it stresses out the dog (and us). Stress leads to aggression. The typical leash walk makes the dog
