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 issues. Training a dog to a leash is much easier when the dog is a puppy, and is therefore small and easy to handle. When a dog is older, it is much more difficult to train it to the leash since it is physically much more able to pull the owner around and cause problems.

Instructions

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 will be very excruciating to watch this procedure but the owner has to learn to control himself and not remove the color until the time that it is in no doubt that the puppy has already calmed down. This just means that he can not manipulate the owner by using the different behaviors to have his collar removed and that the collar can be removed or not at any time.

The next step in dog leash training is to do the same sort of process with the leash. The leash should be attached to the puppy's collar and the puppy should be able to drag it around with him while he is playing.

Soon enough, he will forget the leash, just as he did the collar, which is when the owner will be ready to move to the next step. One important safety precaution with this step is to never leave the puppy unsupervised while dragging the leash around, in case he gets caught on something.

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
