Does your young dog drag you down the driveway before the walk has even started? This guide gives first-time owners a calm, reward-based 21-day plan for loose-leash walking, built for adolescent dogs (about 6 to 18 months).

It opens with a five-minute session you can do tonight in your living room. Then short daily sessions of 5 to 10 minutes take you from the living room to the doorway, the driveway and a familiar stretch of your block. You’ll learn why teenage dogs pull, how to check your collar or harness fit, how to mark and reward a slack leash, how to work around dogs, squirrels and smells, and what to do when a walk goes wrong.

Included: the full eBook plus three printable tools: 21-Day Session Planner, Distraction Ladder and Walk Log, each with a filled-in example.

Reward-based methods only: no prong, choke or shock collars and no leash pops. Every dog learns at its own pace, so there’s no set timeline. For pain, coughing or reactivity, see a vet or a certified positive-reinforcement trainer.

7-day full refund if it isn’t useful to you.
