Dog Training With The Right Leash Is Easier Than You Think.

 If your dog tugs on the leash every time you go for a walk, those walks aren't good for either of you. Those strolls are just as dangerous. When I notice a dog who is tugging on his leash, I believe that he and his owner aren't paying attention to each other. After all, it takes two to twitch. Walking with your dog should be a peaceful experience, not a struggle.

For dogs, pulling on their leashes can be extremely rewarding.

There is a sense of relief that comes with the act of pulling, and it often takes them where they want to go. It takes a lot of effort from the owner to correct behavior as rewarding as pulling on the leash. Trust me, it will be worth the effort.

Leash pulling can be prevented and corrected using the following tips. Start by working on leash training for each dog individually if you have more than one. You'll be able to train and walk them more readily in the future if you practice enough.

1. Reciprocal Recognition of Eye Contact

Using a clicker: A clicker (or marker) is a tool that makes positive reinforcement training more efficient. Using a clicker to train a dog is a great way to promote good behavior. Whenever your dog looks up at you, click and reward him. Keep doing this whenever you take a walk. Dogs are less likely to pull if they're staring at you; this helps bring them back to your side.

2. Rewards for Finding the Perfect Situation

Using a clicker while walking, reward him whenever he is in the "sweet spot" – the area near your left leg. Traditionally, the left side has been used, but this is not required. Don't be afraid to stick to your guns. He'll soon come to appreciate how convenient it is to have you on his left side. Reduce the frequency with which you treat food over time. Preparation is critical if the distraction level increases.

3. It's time to strut your stuff!

Make sure your dog understands that any pressure on the leash signals that he should return to you. Even if he isn't tugging on your arm, walk backward when you go for a walk. Suddenly, he turns around to face you, and you're traveling the other way from what he had been doing before. Give him a reward when he turns around to see where his feet are leading him. Do not praise him if he decides to pull, just if you immediately step back without him pulling ahead in the future. It's just a cue, not a collar repair. Never jerk it to cause pain. Gentler and gentler tugs are what we want to achieve.

4. Work on your relationship.

It's possible that pulling on the leash is an indication that your connection with your dog needs some work. Do you expect him to pay attention to you without you paying attention to him? By sitting and gazing at you when he wants anything, you can improve his bond with you. Ask him to look at you first before he sniffs around for long periods when out for the day.

5. Concentrated Walking

Train your dog to follow your finger for amusement. That is your line of protection against household pets, children, and canines. Let's say your dog is on your left and you are holding the leash on your right. Make sure you have the clicker in your right hand and treats in your left. Put one finger on the treated hand as if you were pointing at something. It's not an obedience test; it's a game! So encourage your dog to chase that finger! At this point, you'll undoubtedly notice that your dog follows the target finger even if there is no food around. Reward your dog with your right hand. Keeping your balance as your dog performs this will be a challenge for you.

6. Soft Leash

The use of praise and positive reinforcement is a powerful method for teaching children to walk without a leash. Using the Silky Leash method, you'll use clicks and treats to encourage. For example, if your dog is taught that light pressure on their leash or harness can have a significant effect on their behavior, they'll be more likely to respond to that pressure in the same way in the future.

In the end

Always begin training your dog in conditions where he is likely to succeed. Take him to train, and he won't learn anything, and you'll get annoyed trying to deal with his erratic behavior.  You should keep in mind that your dog may not be ready for some distractions. It's best to stay away from houses with three dogs in the front yard and from busy streets if you don't think your dog is ready for any of them.
