Dog obedience training while on the leash

Dog obedience training while on the leash

When your dog pulls the strap while walking him, this calls for immediate training, reward the behavior when the dog walks alongside you without pulling the strap. Walking and stopping and being quiet are some exercises you can try. Try not to punish the dog but issue some penalization. When the dog walks on the leash without pulling, calmly heap lots of praises for him and tapped his head.

You will be more successful if you can tire the dog out before taking it for a leash training walk.

When your dog pulls on the leash and you continue the walk, you are rewarding the behavior of pulling. Quickly snap the leash and release it in one smooth move so the collar tightens and loosens quickly.

Stop walking and stand still. The dog will get confused and probably turn towards you. Wait for calm before continuing.

Penalize the dog. "Penalize," not "punish". A "penalty" is a leash jerk, not moving when he's on leash, or just ignoring him. The tug is an attention-getter, a reminder that you are in charge when walking on the leash, so do not yank hard. Only use enough pressure to get the dog’s attention.

The object is control, not to punish, frighten or hurt the dog.

When the dog walks on the leash without pulling, calmly heap lots of praise.
Correct improper behavior with persistence and consistency, and please no harsh corrections.

You may not get far your first few walks, but if you give in to your dog's demands the precedent will be set and the dog will continue to pull. Give a sit-stay command for about 5 to 10 seconds every time the pulling starts. This will make training to stop pulling on a leash, and training to walk on a leash much easier.
