Yokum No Pull / No Choke Leash Instructions

Step 1: Attach the Leash
Snap the leash around your dog's neck.

Step 2: Adjust the Buckle
Adjust the buckle so it sits at your dog's floating rib, or last rib, for a comfortable fit.

Step 3: Start the Half Hitch
Start the half hitch around your dog's abdomen on the side with the Yokum Gear logo.

Step 4: Bring the Handle Around
Bring the leash handle around your dog's abdomen.

Step 5: Loop and Pull
Pull the handle through the loop on the side without the Yokum Gear logo.
Make sure the half hitch is positioned at the floating rib and that the leash is lying flat and not twisted.

Step 6: Walk Without Pulling
Begin walking with your dog.
When your dog pulls, the half hitch creates pressure around the abdomen. When your dog stops pulling, the pressure releases.
The goal is to help your dog learn that a loose leash means a more comfortable walk.

Quick Tip:
Logo side = start the half hitch.
No-logo side = pull the handle through.
