If your dog pulls hard on the leash, timing matters more than most people realize.

A lot of owners wait until the dog is already at the end of the leash before they try to correct it. By that point, the dog is already committed to the mistake.

The goal is to communicate before the leash gets tight so the dog has a chance to come back, re-engage, and make a better decision.
