Stop the Pulling. Enjoy the Walk.

Does your dog pull toward every squirrel, sniff, person, or exciting distraction they see?

Loose Leash Walking is one of the most requested training services because daily walks should be enjoyable—not a constant tug-of-war.

At NayNays Puppers, we use science-backed, reward-based training methods to teach your dog how to walk calmly beside you while still allowing them to enjoy and explore their environment. Our focus is not simply stopping pulling—it's teaching your dog the skills needed to make better choices on walks.

Why Dogs Pull

Pulling is completely natural for dogs.

Dogs walk faster than humans, experience the world through their noses, and often learn that pulling gets them where they want to go.

Our training program helps replace pulling with engagement, focus, and polite walking habits.

Common reasons dogs pull include:

✔ Excitement and anticipation

✔ Environmental distractions

✔ Lack of leash skills

✔ Reinforcement history (pulling has worked before)

✔ Frustration or over-arousal

✔ Desire to investigate scents, people, or dogs
