The #PITBULL used to be scared of everything. If he was scared he would bite! He grew up without a dog companion. As soon as I found his doggy soul mate his self confidence grew, so he didn't feel the need to bite at all Rescue Dogs Training with Megan Page

This is KING, he has been tethered for most of his life. He is 8 months old. I was brought in to help get him prepared to be handled at the vet so he can get his shots, get fixed, and be placed for adoption. This is the SECOND WALK HE HAS EVER HAD IN HIS LIFE! GO KING!!!

TEACH YOUR DOG TO WALK BY YOUR SIDE WITH THIS FUN TOOL!
A SHORT LEASH
Using a traffic lead, sometimes known as a short leash, is a great way to bond with your dog and teach the dog that you expect them to walk by your side, without using inhumane tools or even words.
WHAT IT IS
The traffic lead I am using should be no longer than a one and a half feet long. I recommend pairing it with a slip collar or martingale, which are collars that use movement to help communicate with the dog, instead of static pressure.
HOW TO USE IT
Make sure the collar is up, behind the ears and under the jaw, which gives the handler better control and protection for sensitive parts of the neck. When leaving the house, make sure you walk out of the door first to get your dog in a follow or state. If your dog pulls ahead, stop. They can't get very far, so they will learn that in order to move forward, they must remain at your side. Give the leash a few pops and release. This teaches the dog what to do using body language. They are learning that the pressure will go away when they walk at your side.
TAKEAWAY
Using a short leash teaches your dog where they belong in space. When you are walking together, it limits their ability to pull towards distractions, and it get them in a follow or mindset, not a reactionary one.
Check out this example.

I've been working with this #puppy for about a month and decided to bring him in for a board and train because he was biting and jumping and groeling at his people. He bit me on my neck when I tried to put him in his crate. 5 days in, he follows the rules, is good with dogs, he goes in his kennel, and he is just the sweetest! Sometimes you have to take a break from your dog in order to reestablish a new relationship. Not #aggresive but #reactive due to fear and undersocialization! Rescue Dogs Training with Megan Page
I've been working wirh this pup for about 5 days. When I was at his house he bit me 7 times. Now look at him! He is nit aggresive, he is playing with my pack and I got him in thr crate for the first time in months. When I tried it at his house he bit me. Success!!! Rescue Dogs Training with Megan Page
