Force-free trainers will make use of negative punishment, which means removing something the dog likes, to teach the dog that their behavior can make good things go away. Figure out EXACTLY what it is you don’t like about what your dog is doing. Figure out EXACTLY what it is you’d like your dog to do instead. Generously reinforce your dog for what you WOULD like them to do. Remove reinforcement for the undesired behavior. Manage the dog during his training to prevent slip ups. When your dog DOES pull, and the leash goes tight, say “Oops, too bad” in a light, relaxed tone as your no-reward marker, and turn around to walk in the opposite direction. This is a consequence, but no pain or fear was needed. We taught our dog “Oops, pulling loses you the opportunity to sniff that tree”, and you remove the desired thing (the opportunity to sniff).
