Dog-Secrets – Leash Training Your Dog

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Hey Dog-Secrets,

Dog Quote: Oh, that dog!
Ever hear of a German shepherd that bites its nails?
Barks with a lisp?
You say, “Attack!” And he has one.
All he does is piddle.
He’s nothing but a fur-covered kidney that barks.
…..Phillis Diller

Training your dog to not pull on the leash

One of the most common problems people have with their dogs is
pulling on the leash.

There are many reasons why this can occur, and quite often it is
nothing more than excitement on the dogs part.

If this is the case, allowing the dog a few minutes to simmer down
before taking it on his/her walk can often stop it.

Once again, the dogs pack mentality can come to play with the dog
assuming leadership over its owner as the leader of the pack.

This comes back to the basics of dog training where the dog must be
aware of who the master is.

Failure to get this basic dog training technique under control can
lead to all sorts of problems, particularly if the dog gets off the
leash.

In the presence of other dogs, and sometimes young children this
problem becomes pronounced.

One of the basics of dog training is for the owner to establish him
or herself as the leader of the pack otherwise no training can be
effective.

Once this is been established you can start the process of getting
your dog to walk calmly beside you with or without a leash.

And that process can only start if you are able to get your dog to
sit calmly while you put the leash around its neck.

That is the very first step of training your dog to walk without
pulling in its leash.

Once you succeed in that task, you can move on to the next step
where you can get your dog to walk beside you without a leash and
be assured that he/she won’t run away.

And from there you will not be one of those people where the dog is
taking them for a walk.
