Serpentines and Spirals

Teaching your dog to follow your movement changes without leash pressure.

Brain Training module 4-8 min Level 4 moderate
Dog following an owner through cone serpentines on a loose leash.

How to try it

Start with the easy version.

  1. Set two or three wide markers.
  2. Walk smooth curves and reward near your side.
  3. Add tighter turns only when your dog stays relaxed.

Common mistake: Making the path too tight, which causes pulling and frustration.

Track: How many turns your dog follows with a loose leash.
