Silky leash

Criosphynx

So I taught this to Chili and Kiwi a bit, sort of on my own because it made sense in my head...well iam thrilled to see it is a real method that has a name...This trainer calls it "silky leash". Chili is as close to perfect on a leash as I expect from a dog..which I owe to this method.... I used it from day one with him,

Kiwi, who I have struggled with LLW with, finally had begun to learn and stop pulling after starting this method recently. This is after over a year with the usual methods which all failed.

Anyway, It gives GREAT results for LLW...so here are the how to videos

Michael Ellis, another trainer I follow uses mentions this method in a few articles and videos, which is where I got the original idea... but as far as I know, doesn't give a free how to

hope you guys find these helpful

this is very intresting Crio!! I use this method to direct the dogs when on walk or when they pull carts....although I didn't knew it was a training method like showed in the video this is how Luis learned not to pull on leash.

I have never thought tho I could use this as a training method! Cool!! Thanks for sharing!!

Good method. I've used this method in group class. The dogs seem to pick up on it quickly.

we should edit these links into the loose leash walking sticky!

ooo good idea. I meant to do that actually

yeah... it really sorta fills in that gap for clover, now when he reaches the end of the leash, he can respond to the pressure, instead of pulling against it! it seems like that is the "missing link" of the loose leash training we've done...
