To prevent your dog from dragging you down the street, there are a number of measures you can take to successfully train them to walk in stride. For larger dogs, a choke collar is advisable. This collar gives the dog a small pinch whenever they pull on the leash too hard.
For smaller dogs, a nose collar and a small dog harness is advisable because they will pull back on the dog’s head (nose collar), or front legs (harness) whenever they pull too hard, and train them gradually to walk with you. In addition to these methods, praise and treats following a tug on the leash or when the dog walks with you in stride will go a long way.
