Getting Your Shar Pei To Walk On A Loose Leash

My Shar Pei was always pulling on his leash during our walks and it was making the walk quite difficult for me. To teach him to walk nicely and keep the leash loose between us, I headed outside with a pocketful of tasty treats.
I held the leash close to my stomach and began walking with my Shar Pei. As soon as he placed any tension on the leash, I refused to move any further.
It didn't matter what he did to lessen the tension, as long as the leash became slack again I would treat him and we would continue walking.
I repeated this process over and over again on our walks, until my Shar Pei soon understood that a loose leash meant we could walk farther without stopping.
