Proper Leash Technique<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n With practice and patience, you can teach your pup to walk nicely on a leash. Start by holding the leash in your dominant hand with your thumb in the loop, folding it like an accordion. Your other hand should hold the leash closer to your dog, keeping him on your non-dominant side with his front legs even with yours. The leash should always be loose, forming a J-shape between your hand and his collar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Training Methods\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Luring to Heel Position and Walking Exercise\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \nOff-Leash Training in a Safe Area\u00a0<\/span> \nChange Directions When Pulling\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \nBe a Stone\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \nWalk Backwards\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Extra Tips for Success:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Play before training to release energy.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Make walks fun and mentally stimulating.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Be an oak tree, not a willow, stay firm & consistent!

\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Stand still with a treat in your dominant hand
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Lure your dog to your side using the treat
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Say \u201cLet\u2019s go\u201d and start walking. If your dog pulls, stop and wait until the leash loosens.
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Reward him every few steps when he stays by your side
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Use stops, sits, and turns to keep your pup focused!<\/p>\n
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Show your dog a handful of treats and keep them near your thigh
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Walk away, encouraging your dog to follow close
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Say \u201cYes!\u201d and reward when he changes direction with you
\n\ud83d\udc3e\u00a0 Once he\u2019s consistent, practice on a leash<\/p>\n
\nIf your dog pulls, use the \u201cLet\u2019s go\u201d cue, turn around, and walk in the opposite direction without jerking the leash. Encourage him to follow, and when the leash relaxes, turn back and continue forward. This method helps your dog learn that pulling won\u2019t get him where he wants to go. Be patient, and reward him when he walks nicely by your side.<\/p>\n
\nIf you prefer not to use treats, the \u201cBe a Stone\u201d method is a great alternative. When your dog pulls, simply stop walking and stand still. Wait for him to release the tension on the leash by stepping back or sitting. Once he relaxes, say \u201cLet\u2019s go\u201d and move forward again. Mark his success with \u201cYes!\u201d and continue using stops and turns to reinforce good habits.<\/p>\n
\nFor eager dogs who tend to surge ahead, walking backwards can be an effective tool. If your dog pulls and the leash tightens, immediately start walking backward. As soon as he turns toward you, say \u201cYes!\u201d and reward him by moving forward again. Repeat this process consistently so he learns that staying close is the key to moving ahead.<\/p>\nEste folleto est\u00e1 patrocinado por Arfordable Dog Training.<\/h6>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
