TRAINING
TO WALK
ON THE
LEASH
WITHOUT
PULLING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the best control, keep the leash and collar on your puppy when he is out of the crate and have him supervised at all times. Corrections can be done immediately and he won't learn the habit of running away when you reach to handle him. Remove the leash and collar before returning him to the crate to avoid hanging accidents. |

Make
walks a
pleasure
for
yourself
as well
as your
new
puppy
with
these
simple
tips.
The
most
important
tip is
patience!
This is
not
something
that
will be
learned
overnight.
Set
aside
specific
training
time to
teach
this
lesson
so that
you
won't be
in a
rush to
have
your
puppy
obey
you.

The
first
step to
teaching
a loose
leash
walk
will be
to teach
your
puppy to
stand
nicely
without
pulling
on his
leash.
Have
some
small
treats
in your
hand,
relax
and put
your
puppy on
your
left
side.
If he
runs out
and
pulls to
the end
of the
leash,
don't
move or
try to
pull him
back in
to you.
Wait for
your
puppy to
look
back,
then,
return
to you.
When he
does,
reward
him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When he
is doing
this
consistently,
say
"heel"
then
step off
with
your
left
foot.
If he
runs out
and
pulls to
the end
of the
leash,
again,
don't
move or
try to
pull him
back in
to you.
When he
returns
to you,
start
again.
Eventually
your
puppy
will
learn
that by
not
pulling,
the walk
continues,
which is
a reward
in
itself.
If you
stop
every
time he
pulls
and are
consistent,
your
puppy
will
finally
understand
what is
expected
and will
walk
nicely
with
you.
|

|
|
|
|

|
A more
controlled
heel can
be
achieved
by
building
on what
your
puppy
already
knows
and
shortening
your
leash
until he
is
walking
with his
shoulder
at your
side.
This
will
take
more
time and
is
achieved
more
quickly
if your
puppy/older
dog has
learned
how to
pay
attention
to you. |
