Why is it important for your puppy to automatically pause and think before rushing out doors?Bolting in front of you leads to dominance.People and other animals could be knocked aside in a narrow doorway.Bolting without seeing what is on the other side can lead a dog directly into danger.Automatically pausing when you open the car door in public can give you time to ask for a "wait" and leash your dog.

What should you do when your puppy pulls on the leash?Stop; wait for her to look at you; prompt her to look at you if needed; click, treat, and resume walking when she looks back at you.Gently apply backward pressure to encourage her back towards you.Feedback on the leash will actually cause your puppy to keep trying. Stop completely and help her think through the correct behaviours.
