@TeniPanosian I am a little tardy at responding to you. (This is 2.5 years later). But better late than never, right? When we last talked your parents weren't getting along. Are you still in Glendale? Happy New Year.

Leash Walking Example (which is one of the prompts):
“Build me a 14-day loose-leash walking plan. My dog is [age/size], pulls hardest when [trigger], I currently use [gear], my route is [description], and I can practice [X minutes/day]. Include drills, criteria, and troubleshooting.”
The workbook gives you many variations like this for different situations.

[Bruce Krider @bgkrider]

The output isn’t “try treats.” It’s a structured program:
• gear recommendations (based on safety + fit)
• handling + leash mechanics
• daily drills (5–10 minutes)
• progression rules (when to level up)
• what to do when your dog blows past threshold
• how to measure improvement

[Bruce Krider @bgkrider]

My workbook is 160 pages of fill-in-the-blank prompts.
You enter details like:
• dog age/size/breed mix
• current gear (collar/harness)
• where pulling happens most
• triggers (squirrels, dogs, people, cars)
• your daily schedule
Then paste the prompt into ChatGPT (or your AI tool) and get a tailored plan.

[Bruce Krider @bgkrider]

Why pulling persists: your dog is being reinforced every walk. If pulling gets them to the smell/park/dog even once, the behavior gets stronger.
You need a plan that matches your dog, your route, and your constraints—otherwise it falls apart.
