All dogs, regardless of size, age or lifestyle, should learn the basic techniques of the belt. You should be able to take your dog for a walk around the block or in a crowded veterinary office with no legs around him. A good belt is also important for the safety of your dog and your dog. Training Your Dog To Walk On A Leash
Before you start
# 1: Your dog needs a matching collar that fits well and a proper leash.
# 2: First, you should have goodies or another reward for your dog.
# 3: use a good behavioral marker; a clicker or an emphatic "yes" works.
# 1: Keep the sessions short
If you have a puppy or an adult who has never been on a leash, start with short, positive sessions. Most sports teach dogs to walk on the left-hand side of the handler, but if you do not intend to compete and prefer to keep your dog to the right, this is your choice. However, it is a good idea to teach your dog to keep clear so he does not stumble from one side to the other.
# 2: Protect from pulling
Begin by understanding the good behavior of your dog on a leash. Even if it's a whirling dervish or a major league shooter, there will be times when craziness will stop to loosen the belt. He can even look at it again (probably to know why he walks slowly).
When the belt relaxes, it marks and rewards him.
If your dog walks well enough without pulling or dancing, mark it and reward it from time to time to give it a "point of reference". If he understands that he likes to go quietly without shooting, and gets angry and forgets his manners somewhere along the way, be sure to mark him and reward him as he resumes the polite march.
If your dog already has a habit of tying the leash, you need to convince him of two things: Throwing does not speed his arrival to his destination, and polite walking will make you happy enough to reward him. If you are training a puppy, or if your adult dog is receptive and submissive, try the Do not Progress method. In other words, teach your dog, if he tries to press him on something, he will stop in his race. If your dog is determined to go where he wants to go, he may not immediately realize he's playing the statue, but sooner or later he'll stop firing or turn around to look at him. When the belt loosens, mark and reward, then move on. When your dog pulls again, stop again. You may need to take short and slow walks for a few days, but many dogs quickly realize that shooting slows down rather than speeds up progress.
# 3: Learn to walk by your side
Your dog must also learn to stay by your side. (The left side is traditional.) If you are constantly tearing or running around in circles, your walk will not be very funny and you could trip over and hurt you or hurt your dog. If your dog tends to wander or surround you, show him what you want by following these steps:
Keep your dog's leash short enough so that it cannot easily leave your side, modeling the position you want it to be. But do not keep it so short that you pull it.
At the same time, you lure in the right area by your side with small treats. You can mark the behavior with a word or a click if you like.
When you start to realize the idea, stop attracting yourself, but reward him for staying with you. Treat each step early and increase the gap between the treats until you get used to running without gifts at your side. You can also give it little more stirrups, provided it does not fatten or circle.
# 4: Solve general belt problems
Your puppy is such a determined shooter that just makes you dance.
When he pulls instead of stopping, he turns and walks the other way. Do not shoot your dog, do not talk to him and do not wait. It is your job to pay attention to where you are and to stay with you. When I reach you, I am very happy to see you and to reward you for being with you. Most dogs quickly learn to be attentive and not throw away.
