WoofPost.com Publishes Info On Why Dog Owners Should Train Dogs On Loose Leash Walking

April 22, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ - Laguna Niguel, CA - Loose leash walking is a prerequisite to teaching a dog to run alongside its owner. Most dog owners don’t understand how to get a dog to the point where he is not pulling on the leash and walks beside his owner calmly with the leash loose instead of pulled taut with the dog lunging ahead.

Equipment needed is a buckle collar that is flat, a six foot leash and a good supply of small treats. A harness should not be used as these can encourage the dog to pull. This training is done in two steps with step one being off leash work done outside in a fenced area, or if that is not available then inside the house in a hallway.

First the owner should walk around and totally ignore the dog. Then the owner, while sounding very excited, should call the dog to his side and when he comes, treat him. Then the owner continues to walk all the while talking to his dog in an excited upbeat voice. Every few steps the owner rewards him with a small treat.
