Walking Without A Fuss - Dog Leash Training

Walking Without A Fuss - Dog Leash Training

by Andyl Hannerl

Having the power to baby a puppy you just took home because its so tiny and adorable can be very tempting. But you have to remember that by doing so, this may lead to an untrained pup and a spoiled dog that will have a lot of different behavior problems in the long run. If this is the case, it will be hard to retrain a dog if hes already aged and is used to certain patterns already.

Dog leash training is one of these behavioral issues. When the dog is still a puppy it would be best to train them to a leash as they are still small and are effortless to control. It is harder to train an older dog to the leash as they are heavier and will be more able to pull the owner around and cause troubles.

Steps

First thing to do is have the new puppy get familiarized to having a collar around its neck. An initial reaction that is commonly seen when a collar is first put on a pup would be trying to take it off by rolling around, scratching it or by using different means just so the collar will be removed.

It is going to be complicated to watch this whole procedure but you have to control yourself and remember that you are not to remove the collar until the time that the puppy has relaxed and becomes preoccupied with something else. This way, he would realize that no matter what behavior he shows he can not have the collar removed and that his collar can come on or off any time.

Same process should be followed with the leash. The leash should be attached to the collar of the puppy and must be left attached so the puppy can drag it around while playing.

In time, he will not notice the leash as he did with the collar. This is when the owner can move to the next step. Just remember not to leave the leash around the puppys neck without you watching him as this could be dangerous.

The final step is for the owner to train the dog to be comfortable having someone hold the end of his leash. The owner will need to walk around the house while holding the dogs leash. The leash should stay loose between the owner and the puppy so the dog is always by the owners area. If the dog tries to pull his owner, the owner must stop walking and call the dog so the god will be on the owners side again.

As soon as this happens, it would be safe for the owner to start walking again just as long as the puppy stays at the said where the lash is hanging freely. The puppy must be commended from time to time if he is doing well so that he knows that it is pleasurable walking that way. - 20511
