Pulling the LEAD: LOOSE LEAD WALKING AND HEEL
To correct a dog or puppy from pulling forward on the belt of the two techniques of loose lead walking and the heel should be combined. It's about shaping the dogs behavior and lure the dog into position. The techniques are simple, but to get results from the handler must be consistent.
The theory behind the loose leash walking is that if a dog pulls on the leash is a reward to continue, it is important that you not allow your dog to pull forward when she pulls on the line (if the dog gets what wants by pulling, not run well).
Every time he / she pulls forward on the line, you stop walking. It is helpful if you are willing to stop walking by looking at the tensions within the leadership. As you can see the line go taut prepare to stop (This allows much faster and more accurate feedback). There is no need to say anything if you stop walking. If the lead relaxes you can walk on. Eventually he / she realize that pulling on the leash is not rewarded.
Now, you think, but I'm not going to get very far, and how on earth do I exercise my dog?
2 options (plus detailed instructions below): When using a short lead, you could change direction when he / she pulls on the leash. This way you keep moving and exercise your dog without him / her pull you forward. I find this works well, especially because a dog is usually drawn to something by leaving it removes the reward when the dog is nice you can walk back in the original direction.
The second option is to use a long lead time for exercise walks (eg 5 meters), or even better, have a good recall, so you can take your dog off lead. Long cords are dangerous to use around other dogs and people because of the risk of getting tangled. Also, puppies can build up speed and have a nasty shock when at the end of the lead or are withdrawn and may cause injury.
It is best to wait until he has improved on the line to use a retractable lead. Unless you have a good quality lead and another harness or collar you can postpone your dog's progress if you allow them to pull ahead.
Loose leash walking and 'Very'
To build on the loose lead walking, the heel command, the command heel will encourage your dog to walk beside you.
To begin with your dog the heel command to run the pipe on your left (this is usually the side away from traffic). With a treat (or toy) in your left hand keep it for your dog to help him / her to lure into position. I generally keep the lead in my right hand, or are in charge of my right wrist and light to hold and guide him with my left hand. Not wrap the lead around your wrist as it may be unsafe if your dog lunges ahead and pull off-balance. If your dog jumps to treat (or toy) when practicing the heel command ignore it, but make sure he / she can not take your treatment. Verbal praise your dog when he / she is good on your side. Occasionally give the treat. The ideal time to reward your dog when he / she is ahead or at you and looking relaxed.
Encourage your dog properly walk on a leash is important to combine the above two techniques. If you experience problems with this or if your dog is too strong for you then you want to look at a walking harness, head collar or training collar (like a limited slip collar). A walking harness (if anti-pull and not a regular car seat belt or harness) is useful for small to medium sized dogs and will help you get faster results, but you should still apply the same training techniques. Head collars give good results for large or strong dogs, but they do take getting used to the dog can play a bit when they are first used. The training collars are useful and easy to use, but once the training has to be done to ensure long-term results.
