Are You Wondering How to get Started with Dog Leash Training?
The goal of leash training is simply to
train your puppy or dog to stay close to you
when walking on a leash and to do so
without pulling or tugging.
You don't
want to come back from walking your dog
and have your whole body feel like you were
holding back a freight train.
Make sure you start with the right equipment.
A Plain Dog Collar - Trainers today recommend
the use of plain dog collars to leash train your dog. Specialized dog collars such as choke chains
and prong collars can cause injury and permanent
damage to your dog's neck. These types of collars
should only be used by people experienced with
their use.
A Short Leash - A dog leash of no longer
than 2 feet is appropriate when teaching a dog to
walk close to his owner.
Lots of Treats - You will need alot of yummie
treats for encouragement, positive reinforcement and to
praise your dog when he performs well.
Start out in small sessions of 10 minutes or so.
Remember, never speak harshly or yell when
you are training. Make the training sessions
fun for you and your new pup. Good Luck.
