Dog Leash Training

Here are some simple tips to help you with dog leash training. Training a puppy is generally easier, however leash training an older dog is also possible, but generally harder because the old habits have to be broken and new ones learned.  This dog training advice is simple, but it is the same technique effectively used everyday in dog obedience school, and here it is:

 If the dog applies any tension on the leash, don’t walk forward, become a rock. And while walking, if you see the dog is about to pull then stop immediately.

  When the dog turns to see what happened to you, now is your chance to praise him for paying attention that is part of his training.  The dog will realize there is a problem and turn to look at you. Dog behavior training is a lot easier when you understand one simple rule. Dog behavior is such that they are eager to please.

 Now encourage him to return to the heel position next to you. This is all part of how you can teach your dog to walk on a leash. As you walk, as long as the dog is in the correct spot, continue to praise him, even providing treats if you wish. This type of dog training seems simple, but it does work.

 Training dogs does not have to be hard, dog leash training, or general dog obedience training just needs to be consistent and applied with love and understanding.  Ideally you will be employing this technique as part of puppy training, however this form of  obedience training works for dogs of any age, but be patient, remember that in older dogs it will take longer because old habits die hard. Dog obedience training, fast easy, and 100% guaranteed!

 Stick with it, and best of luck to you.
