Puppy Leash Training Can Be Intimidating

Submitted by: Ashley Bloodworth

Puppy leash training can be intimidating – Here are some good tips to help you get started. To begin with your puppy will want to rush off at everything he sees and the only thing blocking him from disappearing out of sight is that he is held back by his leash and choke collar which you have a tight hold of.

This may seem like a game to you while your pup is tiny however if your puppy feels that pulling is allowed when he grows up you will be fighting to control him because he will be too powerful for you to control and they will end up walking you rather than “YOU walking them “.

Begin teaching him puppy leash training early

To begin with don’t make a big fuss about leaving your home, do not excite your dog as this will spill out all over the place and will make your training even more difficult. Start in a place they are familiar with, like your yard.

If he does start to run away from you then just stop moving and gently call your pup back to you. Don’t yank the lead pulling him back to you – this will only upset them more. If you can get him to come back to you when you call him then this will remain with him throughout his life. Using treats here is another good way to get them to come to you and positive reinforcement.

Once he returns to you give him lots of praise and then you don’t start again until you have their attention… walk along quietly using the HEAL command .Ideally you’ll want you puppy to be by your side throughout your walks and you can get him to do this by rewarding him with lots of admiration and yummy bites. Give your puppy a break for lots of praise between sessions and spend some time with them for all their efforts. Keep the session, positive, short ad fun.

According To Wikipedia

In recent years, many organizations have involved inmates in prisons for some initial puppy training. There are pros and cons to this move. For example, without the responsibilities of making a living, paying bills, driving the kids, etc., inmates typically have more time to spend with the puppy. There is a lot of walking in prison, and inmate-raised puppies thus have more opportunities to walk on a loose leash. In contrast, the early socialization that is a must for puppies is limited in a prison: all men, or all women, all dressed the same, few if any children, and a lack of new and various scents. Cars, bicycles, skateboards, backpacks, cats, and many other distractions are rare to non-existent in prisons. Still, these programs have been a success on many fronts with the help of professionals, and some forethought on program implementation.

The goal at the end is to walk with a loose leash without tension or pulling !!!
