Training the dog on a leash is one of the most basic forms of dog training. At the same time, it is important to teach your dog this important skill as you will want to have full control of your pet in the future. Dogs do not know that pulling a leash in your dog and reinforcing that bad habit if you do not take the appropriate steps to stop it. Also keep in mind that it is much easier to teach a puppy how to leash than to teach the same thing to an older dog (due to his age and experience). He will be more resistant to his orders.
1 - Buy a suitable belt
This step is not critical, but important if you want to start training on the right foot. Make sure you buy a standard leather collar that is soft enough to place on your dog's neck without strangling it. Suffocating necklace shapes are not recommended as they will do more harm than good to your pet.
You do not want to use negative reinforcement training based on the punishment of misconduct, as it works less well than positive reinforcement techniques and often harms the dog. Do not buy any adjustable or too short straps. You do not want your dog to think that he can always throw something more to go on or walk with a taut leash that makes him feel unwell.
2 - Let him get used to the strap
The second step is to place the collar on the neck of your dog and attach the leash. Let your dog run free while you have these two items. They want to get used to it and if possible forget it. If you try to loosen or scratch the collar, you will not help. Instead, wait for it to calm down and then remove it.
3 - Where should I start?
Well, now you want to find a place in your neighborhood where your dog feels comfortable and is distracted as little as possible (a driveway or a garden would be perfect). If you can not imagine this place, just practice in your apartment. Your pet should be fully focused on the subject, so remember to choose the right place. If you decide to leave and your dog is upset (jumping, barking, etc.), wait until he calms down. He has to understand that meanness will not get him far and that the only way out is to listen to his commands.
4 - Do not let it pull on the belt
Ok, the rules for the belt training are pretty simple. Whenever your dog starts pulling it somewhere, stop, say "Ah-ah" and wait until it releases the strap and comes back. In this case, he congratulates him and rewards him for his good behavior with a delicious reward. If you want to start over and make things as easy and clear as possible for your dog, do not take more than two or three steps at a time and stop.
Wait for your dog to join you and sit down (tell him how he feels). If he follows your instructions, encourage him again, and if he does not, stop and ask him to return. This part has to do with patience (the first walks you can not go further than the driveway) and Konstanz. Repeat the same exercise and finally train your dog.
Heel Control
The first step in getting your dog to walk is not to pull on a leash at all.
You need the collar and leash of your dog.
Position yourself on the side and to the right of your dog so that both point in the same direction and the dog is to your left.
Walk slowly in a straight line and move forward with your left leg. Once your dog takes off and pulls on the leash, stay calm and pull the leash in your direction. Do not pull the dog towards you. All you have to do is stop your progress.
Wait for the dog to stop, congratulate him and move on. At this time, it is not necessary to issue a command, as he is just trying to teach his dog the manners so that he can better understand the heel order when fully taught.
If you use this method for ten minutes and three or four times a day within four or five days, you should be prepared to proceed to the next phase. It is very likely that you will achieve good results in a few minutes, at least so that your dog stops throwing it anywhere.
