Walking your dog on a lead isn’t always fun?
Your dog pulls you and it can be if honest very frustrating. They don’t seem to understand how to walk nicely. Just stop your dog will look to you for direction wondering why you have stopped this might be almost instantly it could be a few minutes. As soon as they look at you then walk. Choose the direction you want to go not where the dog wants to go. If they pull again stop and repeat. When they are walking nicely on a loose lead praise them give them a treat. Keep on practicing this be nice and relaxed don’t get frustrated remain calm reward good behaviour. I can show you the technique but you will have to continue doing it.

So here is Winston with his toy banana. What a change in him,yes he is still reactive at times but what a change in him. Carrying his toy does calm him as it distracts him and reduces his anxietyTime and patience and being persistent which his owner has been doing has changed Winston. Really pleased with this boy.

So today I had a text from a former client Karen who has a Tibetan terrier Wilson. Wilson was a reactive dog who reacted towards other dogs by barking and lunging towards them. Karen was delighted to tell me that Wilson walked through the park without reacting to other dogs. She is so happy that all the effort she has put into getting Wilson to be calm is working. I showed Karen diversion techniques and she has used them. Great news and very happy to have helped her and Wilson.

So if you have a dog that pulls attracted to scent marks stand still don’t move. Let your dog understand that lunging to scents is not acceptable. Wait for them to relax on the lead and look back at you. This is the moment to give a heal command and walk on. Repeat this again each time they do it. It may take a couple of days to get the message through or it may take longer but keep at it. It will work patience and practise is all you need. Make a huge fuss when your pal doesn’t pull. Good luck.
