How to deal with leash frustration?

To deal with leash frustration, a game called "Calm the Beans" can be played, which shows the dog that a tantrum on the leash is not necessarily the best way to get what you want. The game "Calm the Beans" is suitable for dogs who are easily frustrated by the limited freedom of movement on the leash. Throw a treat so your dog can see it but can’t reach it. Keep the leash tight but don’t pull your dog back. Now you have to wait patiently until your dog comes up with the idea of reorienting himself towards you or at least stops pulling. This is the moment you click or give your marker signal. As a reward, your dog can have the treat on the ground. Practice this until your dog quickly reorientates towards you after you have thrown the treat. Then you can use the game in other situations: Does your dog want to sniff at a lamppost? Instead of letting him pull you along, stop and wait until he has reoriented himself towards you. Mark and send him to the lamppost as a reward. Your dog is dying to say hello to another dog, wait for him to reorient himself towards you and send him to the other dog as a reward.

Most dogs don’t want to fight, so they display a number of behaviors designed to prevent it. These distance-increasing behaviors includes barking, lunging, or growling — anything to make the threat go away. Unfortunately, a tight leash tells your dog you're stressed, making your pup more stressed in return. As a result, both dogs may start barking, switching from their flight instinct, to fight. Many people correct their dog for any perceived display of aggression. Some may force them to sit or lie down in an approaching dog’s path thinking this will help correct the behavior.
