How to Train a Dog to Walk on a Leash


This article will give you some dog leash training tips to make it both relaxing and fun for both of you. Any successful method of teaching a dog will reinforce your relationship with your pet as well as train.



The leash/collar method is the most popular, as there are thousands of dogs who are city dwellers, and maintaining control over your pet is vital in this type of setting, as unexpected situations can arise at any time.

The type of breed you own will determine its unique personality and which style of training will work the best to achieve your desired results, but leash training a dog for the most part has proven successful in all breeds.

Before beginning this type of method, keep in mind that the leash is a tool and is not to be used forcefully against the dog. It is there to guide and correct your pet while training. Once he learns your commands it will take very little effort to control his movements.

Your dog must first trust and accept you as his leader before any training will be successful. If there are control issues, these must first be corrected or your efforts will fail and professional help should be sought.

When leash training a dog, various degrees of force are necessary, depending on the situation and correction needed. To stop dog pulling leash, tug quickly and forcefully while sternly saying "no".

When he attempts to deviate from your course, gently tug him back into place and praise him when he obeys. This type of training teaches the canine a particular movement desired by the handler.

When you have the ability to place your pet into a position he does not wish to take, and be able to do so with very little effort, your dog is fully trained. Once this is achieved, your canine will obey you even when the leash is not present.

Off leash training will be the next step, where your body is the tool, and your hands and eye contact will guide the dog. It is amazing to see what a dog can learn, when you take the time and effort into training.

Canines used as "working" dogs such as police, rescue and personal aids all undergo extensive leash training and are valuable assets to any community. Once your furry friend has been properly taught he will be just as valuable to you, whether in the ring or out for a casual walk around town.
