Keep Your Dog Close with LeashMaster
Whether you hike an hour or just circle the block, a good leash walk provides your dog with the adventure and exercise he craves. But traditional leashes have built-in limitations. Dogs are attracted to any movement and have a natural urge to chase squirrels, bicycles, joggers, and other dogs. Your dog’s momentum snaps that leash tight, forcing you to lean back and hold hard. Damaging stress occurs over and over again at the dog’s neck. Your back, neck and arms suffer the effects, too. LeashMaster harnesses the dog’s momentum and energy and returns it to you, keeping your dog close and comfortable without painful spike collars or unsightly gimmicks. To begin, simply attach the LeashMaster clasp to your dog’s collar.
Position 1: With your dog at your left side, place your right hand around the grip, palmup, and the left hand on the stem, palm down.Your elbows should be relaxed and close to your sides with arms bent. This provides maximum comfort and the perfect amount of leverage. You are now in Position 1, the best starting point for you and your dog. Use a walking phrase like “Let’s walk” or “Heel,” so your dog knows a controlled, easy walk is about to happen. As you walk, keep your dog next to you with light directional cues from your left hand on the stem. Cues for Commands LeashMaster takes the stress out of walking your dog, but it’s also great for teaching other basic commands. With subtle changes in the angle of the LeashMaster, you can cue your dog for specific commands.


Position 2: Ask your dog to sit - angle the LeashMaster up and back with your left hand using light pressure. Relax the pressure when your dog sits.

Position 3: Ask your dog to Lie Down - angle the LeashMaster down and forward with your left hand, and bring the right hand down, too, using light pressure. Relax when he lies down.

Position 4: Ask your dog to Stay - start in Position 1. Then say, “Stay” and step in front of your dog so you are facing him. The LeashMaster should pivot with you, but keep the left end still and straight, close to the dog’s collar. As you step in front of your dog, the grip end should be in your right hand, at your waist level, with the left hand supporting the stem, parallel to the ground. The LeashMaster then creates a straight-line barrier, with the handle end at your waist and the stem facing the dog, so he cannot follow you. This technique helps the dog understand the meaning of “stay” more quickly. Now move back into position 1, and praise your dog.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. “My dog still pulls me. How can I discourage this?” A. Try teaching your dog to wait. When he pulls, stop completely and say, “Wait.” Angle the LeashMaster straight back using your left hand on the stem. When your dog holds his position for a moment and relaxes, say your walking phrase and proceed. Interrupting his forward progress every time he pulls will teach him to walk with you, not against you. Q. “My dog leans away from me. Why is he doing this?” A. Your dog may be trying to get more slack in the leash, as he would with a traditional leash, so he can get his head down and really pull. Try keeping treats in your left-handed pocket. Walk just a few feet forward with your dog, then stop and just say his name. Quickly offer a treat when he looks at you. Make this a habit and he’ll soon stick closer to you. Q. “My dog pulls down to sniff everything. How do I stop this?” A. Your dog may need to eliminate, so make sure you have given him this opportunity before you start a serious leash walk. Once you start your walk, say your consistent walking phrase to let him know a steady-paced walk is about to happen. Stop occasionally and ask for Sit, and then offer a treat. This will encourage your dog to keep an eye on you. Q. “My dog is fine until he sees another dog, then he tries to drag me. Now what?” A. The LeashMaster can assist with keeping the dog closer to you and preventing him from surging forward or side-ways. Be sure your position is correct, with your elbows bent and close to your sides. Try using frequent changes of direction during your walk to tell your dog to stay at your side. As you walk forward, say a turning phrase like “This way!” and then make a sudden right turn. Your left hand stays in position 1 and your right hand is lowered to your waist level. The LeashMaster should come across your waist as your turn right. Praise your dog for coming with you, and offer a treat. Then turn back in the original direction and keep going. To make a smooth left turn, pull straight back on the stem with your left hand and pivot left, directly in front of your dog. Your right hand, on the grip of the LeashMaster, stays in place near your chest level as you turn. Praise your dog for following you and turn again to set off in the original direction.
