Rescued Dog's Journey: From Fear to Freedom on a Leash

A Belarusian animal rescue center recently shared a heartwarming story of a rescued dog and its journey to leash training. The dog, found abandoned in Minsk, initially resisted walking on a leash, prompting its trainer to use a unique technique. "The key is patience and avoiding force," explains the trainer, who uses a long leash to allow the dog freedom while getting used to the leash. The video shows the dog's progress over several minutes, demonstrating a positive reinforcement approach. The dog's transformation from fearful and resistant to happily walking on a leash is a testament to the power of compassionate training. The center's work highlights the importance of rescue and rehabilitation for animals in need.
