Dog Collar And Leash
Leash Training Your Dog
Training your dog is important and must be done with
a dog collar and leash. Every new pet owner should
become responsible and train their new dog to be
comfortable with using a dog collar and leash, and
obeying commands.
There are many ways to train a new dog. First start off
by using simple commands such as stay, sit, or come so
the dog can become accustomed to obeying you. It is a
good idea to start this training early on before trying
to train your dog to use a dog collar and leash.
With training your dog to stay in one place, stand in
front of the dog and hold up your hand and say the word
"stay" loudly and then walk slowly backwards while
keeping eye contact on the dog. Practice the stay
command until the dog does it right. Then reward it with
kind words and a treat for every time the dog does this
right.
Another command to have your dog learn before it is
ready for leash training with a dog collar and leash is
the "sit" command. This is not a hard command for most
dogs to learn. You can train the dog by using a treat.
While looking the dog in the eye, show them the treat in
your hand and move your hand upwards until the dog is
looking up, and firmly say, "sit". If your hand is held
high enough above the dog's head, it will naturally sit
to maintain eye contact with the treat.
Another way to teach your dog this command is to say,
"sit" and gently push on the dog's rear end to nudge it
to sit. Regardless of what method you use to get the dog
to sit, don't forget to reward it after it follows the
command correctly.
A third command your dog should know before being
trained with a leash is the "come" command. The "come"
command is very important especially when the dog is
attached to a collar and leash. Using a long leash, you
can train your dog while it has collared and using this
command by telling the dog to stay and rewarding it when
it carries out this command. Then walk further away from
the dog and say the command "come" and calling the dog's
name is helps. Reward the dog when it carries out this
command correctly.
After your new dog has learned these simple commands, it
is time to train it with a leash. Using the dog collar
and leash to can help you do this. Start by showing the
dog the dog treat in your hand. Then with the dog either
sitting or standing next to you start to walk by
stepping on your left foot first.
The dog should walk beside you and not in front or
behind you. If it continually pulls on the leash and is
not able to walk, repeat the training until you are
satisfied with the dog's behavior. Every time it is able
to walk beside you correctly with a dog collar and
leash, reward it with loving words and a treat.
