Train My Dog To Stop Dog Pulling On The Leash Started From You


First thing you should know before you start to train your dog to stop pulling on the leash when walking with you is to understand what your dog needs are. Dogs’ common problem is when they are pulling on the leash to get where they want to go. From the biggest dog to the tinniest breed, all dogs learn to pull on their leashes from an early age.

Why Does Your Dog Pull?

Dog pulls because they want to get to the place where they want to go. If every time your dog does it, you follow your dog wherever she pulls you it means you are allowing your dog to think it is acceptable. The key of any training is you. It depends on how much you would to invest to build relationship with your dog and how consistent you are in keeping the work and time to get the results you want it.

Reinforcing The Right Behavior To Your Dog By Defining Your Terms

When you train your dog, figure out and decide what and how you would like your dog to do. It is very important to define and narrow down what you are looking for from your dog to behave on leash. It also gives you a boundary for yourself of what you are going to emphasize on the training; thus it will help you to recognize and reward it.

-Which side your dog should be on?
-Will you allow your dog to sniff at other dogs or objects on the street?
-Will your arm be relaxed or extended?
-Should your dog stay by yourself at all time?
-Is a loose leash enough? etc.

Give Your Dog Enough Exercise

Exercise is part of your dog’s fundamental necessity for physical, behavior and mental stability. When your dog is having a very little amount of exercise, it shows obviously when she is on leash. Lack of exercise causes your dog to pull, spin and tug on leash to get where she wants to go. On the contrary, when your dog has enough physical activities, you can expect a more calm on-leash companion. Active dogs need about 30 minutes to an hour a day of flat-out running to release their energy. Other dogs activities are swimming, playing fetch, playing with other dogs, and so forth.
