Leash Walking your Dog
If your dog is not obedient on the leash you are not alone. Most dogs do not like too be on a leash and listening before they get trained with the leash. Your dog does want to listen but you need to communicate to them what you want. Your dog aims to please its master/alpha dog. Your job is when it doesn’t want to listen a few times to put it back in its place.
Way to help your dog leash walk:
- Have your dog on your side and begin walking
- Keep walking and if your dog is ahead of you at any time tap him/her on the butt with your foot and pull them back to your leg
- if they go to the side of you and not close enough pull slightly to the side so they fall back in line
- To learn heal you want to walk and if your dog goes in front of you you begin walking the opposite direction. This shows the dog you are in charge and he/she goes where you go.
- Walk upright in the command position. Your dog can sense when you are in control so act like it.
