How to Stop your Dog from Pulling on the Leash

Here is the elusive answer to the ever present question of HOW DO I TEACH MY DOG NOT TO PULL?

Don't walk forward if there is tension on the leash.
When the dog is about to apply ANY tension to the leash at all .... Immediately stop. Be a tree.

When the dog turns to see what happened to you, praise for his attention .... and encourage the dog back into heel position next to you - if necessary, take a few steps backward.

As long as the dog is in the magic spot next to your leg, continue praising, give food rewards, make it the best possible place in the world to be. If he loses concentration and is about to put any tension on the leash at all, stop without warning and repeat the above sequence.
