Dog Training Equipment

How did you train your dog to go on walks?

I know there are tons of sites and shows like the Dog Whisper. I want to know what worked for YOU, please.

My dog was doing well, but he has now reverted back to his old ways of pulling ahead on the leash and getting distracted by everything including other dogs, people, trees, etc.

I would like to know what equipment (certain leash, harness, etc.) you used that worked well and how you trained the dog to stay at your side. I am the alpha dog at all times, except when we go on walks....then he thinks he is in charge.


I give a gradual steps in my process, but the number one rule is YOU walk THEM, not the other way around. If you are walking, don't stop even if the dog does, keep going and the dog will be pulled back to you. If you have a dog that pulls, stop every five minutes or so, just to let them know, you won't go unless YOU WANT TO.

I start with regular collars, if they are really tenacious about pulling I move to anti-pull harness, I have had to use a choke chain on dogs that pull to tough even on an anti-pull harness. This may seem cruel, but I never yank the chain, the dog does all the resistence themselves and will learn very quickly to stay near you and walk at your pace or the walk gets to be no fun for them.

NEVER LEAVE A CHOKE CHAIN ON A DOG THAT IS UNATTENDED OR NOT ON A WALK WITH YOU!

NEVER USE A CHOKE CHAIN FOR CORRECTIVE PURPOSES!

After the dog has learned proper walking behavior, go down to the harness again. If the dog is still performing correctly, go down to the collar and enjoy your walks.

This has had a 100% success rate with me and my pooches.

Always remember, to be a proper dog owner, sometimes you have to be a jerk......
