As your puppy becomes more comfortable with loose lead walking, you can begin to introduce your “this way” U-turn cue into the exercise. Start with short sections of calm walking, then gently change direction using your cue and turn away, encouraging your puppy to follow. This helps your puppy learn to stay connected to you and respond to changes in movement, rather than simply walking in a straight line. By combining these exercises, you build better focus, responsiveness, and a more natural, fluid walking partnership.
