🐕 NEW VIDEO: Power Steering for Your Dog (Leash Pressure Made Simple)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting your dog on the leash… this one will change your life.

In this video I break down leash pressure — which I like to describe as “power steering for your dog.” Once you understand this, everything in training gets easier. Sit, down, place, heel… all of it connects back to this one skill.

Most people accidentally trigger opposition reflex and then wonder why their dog is pulling, bucking, or fighting the leash.

This video shows you how to teach it the right way, so your dog actually understands how to turn pressure off, stay engaged, and work with you instead of against you.

I also walk through:

How to introduce leash pressure gently and clearly
Why pressure relief is actually a reward (negative reinforcement)
How to pair food with leash guidance for faster learning
When to use a slip lead vs. a prong collar
How to keep your dog’s motivation high during the process
Real training clips with dogs learning this for the first time

If you're working on training your dog, this falls right between the Teaching Phase and the early Structure work — and it’s one of the most important skills you can develop as a handler.
