Man - VS - Dog
There is a paradox of power. Some dogs are alpha and some need to be treated as such. It’s common to see someone be walked by their dog. The harder they pull back the harder the dog charges forward.
It’s a miserable arrangement full of tension and strain. Strain that can be eliminated with properly timed power. A dog trainer solves the paradox by giving a quick correction and then letting the leash go slack.
The power is in the slack. It gives the dog a feeling of power. A feeling that a relaxed walk around the block was his idea.
Go walk your dog :)
