Leash Training Your Dog

and step forward on your right foot.

Leash Training Your Dog

When you take your dog for a walk, fasten the collar tight enough so it can't slip over his head. Kneel, and coax him to take a few steps. Then he won't be afraid. If he sits down or pulls away from you, start walking fast and call his name. Soon he will follow you.

Stairs

After you train your dog to walk on leash, teach him to go up and down stairs. Carry him the first few steps. Then coax him. If he draws back, pull slowly on the leash and keep telling him "Good Boy! Good Boy!" After he staggers up or down the first few steps, the others will be easy.

Walking with the leash

When you take your dog for a walk, put the handle of the leash around your wrist.

Dogs are sometimes frightened and they jump unexpectedly. With the handle around your wrist, the leash can't slip through your fingers.

When you see a car coming, or whenever you hear the toot of a horn, pull the dog quickly off to the side of the road. Do this regularly and your dog will move to safety by himself when a motor car approaches.

Kneel, and coax him to take a few steps.
