In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the most effective and humane ways to transform your dog’s behavior—using leash pressure and tone to build clear, consistent boundaries your dog actually understands.

If your dog constantly tests limits, ignores commands, or leaves you feeling frustrated, this approach can take you from chaos to calm.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use leash pressure as guidance—not punishment

• Time your tone to communicate with meaning

• Stay clear, consistent, and fair with your expectations

• Establish boundaries your dog will respect for life

This is the same method I’ve used to help countless families turn their “little devils” into well-mannered companions—and you can do it too.
