How to get your dog to not pull on a leash (VIDEO)
Author Sarah Dungca / Cats and Cat Behaviour /
If you've ever been walking with your dog, only to be yanked in this, that and every direction, this video is for you! In this video McCann Dog Training demonstrates with a training exercise so you can learn how to teach your dog not to pull on the leash. This training exercise doesn't just stop your dog from pulling during your walks, but with consistent practice and training, it will actually teach them to not pull on the leash EVER! This informal "leash respect" as they call it will be one of the most-used skills that you teach to your dog. Whether you're indoors, outdoors or anywhere else, this skill will show your dog that they need to keep that leash loose, and let them know that it pays off to pay attention to you.
Definitely a must for any dog parent to make your walks even more enjoyable :)
Summary
- Reward on good behaviour.
- Small leash pulse with undesired behaviour.
- Reward from high-- let them know that good things happen when they're focused on you.
- Introduce distractions, and reward for keeping that leash loose even with toys/distractions around.
