Dog Leash Training

Is Dog Leash Training or Dog Collar Training the Best Way to Success in Your Dog Training

Copyright (c) 2009 James Mahoney


Fortunately, dogs are hard wired by nature to be social, pack oriented animal and to seek out leaders, and to follow the direction of those leaders.


Both dog leash training and reward training have been around for quite awhile now, and over that time they have been shown to be effective in getting the respect of the dog.


The leash and training collars for dog collar training are the most basic piece of training equipment used in dog leash training or in collar training dogs. The correct use of the lead and training collar in dog collar training is vital to any successful dog training.


Dog collar training is used to get dogs trained as fast as possible in a way that is also humane. The way a training collar is used to apply a certain amount of pressure each time that the leash is tightened. This then controls the amount of pressure placed on the training collar, and this pressure can then be adjusted according to just how the dog responds to the dog leash training.


Dog leash training is especially important in puppy training, since most dogs will not have a natural inclination to just follow by your side, but instead have a tendency to wander all over the place.


Dog leash training used when collar training dogs can represent the best way to accomplish many kinds of dog collar training programs. This is especially true in where the dog must achieve a rather high level of reliability in some situation. As an example, where dogs may have an important job to do, such as with rescue dogs, police dogs and guard dogs, dogs in these roles would greatly benefit from dog leash and collar training.


When starting dog leash training you should first purchase a sturdy and well made dog training collar, because you don't want to risk your dog breaking his collar and running away. You should also make sure that the collar fits him properly.


The length of the dog collar should be approximately two inches longer than the circumference of the dog's neck. You must use a measuring tape to accurately measure the dog's neck. To be able to get an accurate measurement, the tape should not be tight around your dog's neck.


In a collar or leash based dog leash training program, the dog is taught, at least in the beginning, a particular behavior, usually with the leash. After it is apparent the dog can show that he comprehends the particular command, the leash is then used to correct the dog when he might disobey, or when he falls short at any time. The leash is important tool when controlling and communicating with the dog in dog leash training or dog collar training.


There can be many different styles of dog training, even a different training style for every trainer. These styles even vary from dog to dog, and from breed to breed. This can make finding the one that works best for you rather challenging. The right training is important if you want to have a dog that is a talented, loyal and faithful companion for you and your family. The methods of dog training that are the most successful are those that work to strengthen the relationship between dog and handler, and therefore for a training program to be considered successful it must be able to get the respect of the dog.

Dog Leash Training

How do I begin leash training a 9 month old dog?

I am talking about the kennell dog we just got 2 weeks ago.She has never been on a leash before.And it seems to be a pretty traumatic thing when I've tried.So I 'm scarred to push it. Any ideas?


Make the leash a positive experience for her. Normally, I don't recommend treat-training of any kind, but you may want to use treats for the first few times along with lots of praise. She's going to need gallons of praise!!

First, simply leave the leash on the floor (you should ignore it as if it's not even there and watch her from your peripheral) and allow her to sniff it and investigate it, but don't allow her to bite or play with it. If she checks it out, praise her for it. If she doesn't go near it, try putting a treat near it. Do this several times with a treat, then without--again, praise her if she investigates.

Then, tie the leash around your waist so it dangles where she can be near it. Again act as if it's not there. Praise her for any investigation or curiosity. Next, try calling her to you. Don't go to her with the leash. You want her to come to it. If she seems wary, keep trying. Use a treat if you must. Then carry the leash in your hand and go through the routine again. It's going to take time and patience!! Anytime she even remotely investigates, PRAISE!

You can see where I'm going here...ultimately, you're trying to get her to see the leash as something innocuous yet positive. Work in stages until you can get the leash clipped to her collar. When you are finally able to do this, just clip it and immediately unclip it, praising her again for something even that simple.

If you are still having trouble, I suggest you find a good trainer in your area. You can locate a good one by going to www.dogpro.org.

Good luck, and remember to be patient above all things with her!
