MAGIC LEASH WRAP!!! I love this method of leash walking - all you need is leash and collar. No harness or fancy leash system. Things to note:
1. Do NOT yank hard on the leash. You don’t need to for a start and you never want to hear a yelp from a dog who is in a leash wrap.
2. The dog will control the pressure on the leash. They learn that tension on the leash means you stop and the pressure around the waist increases.
3. Once you have stopped and they have tightened the wrap, ask them to come back to you and give you eye contact in a sitting position (use a treat to lure them instead of pulling them with the leash).
4. SUPER IMPORTANT! Relax the leash when they are walking beside you or sitting. It should always be loose on them when they are in the correct position.
5. Only give them enough leash to allow them to walk beside you. If they can cross in front or behind you, they have too much leash and you have less control.
6. If they want to stop and sniff, then stop with them and let them sniff - so long as it is safe to do so.
7. If there is something coming toward you or your dog is fixating on something ahead, turn around steadily and walk in the opposite direction. Don’t pull on the leash, just walk as though they were next to you and they will have no choice but to come with you. Find a side street or safe location to go so the situation that has caught your dogs attention can pass at a safe distance and you can continue with your walk.

COOKIE!!!!
I love, Love, LOVE 💗 enrichment games for pups! Something interactive is always a great way to go too! These were just cheap self record buttons off Amazon if you’re interested in giving them ago - Disclaimer: IT REQUIRES PATIENCE! First you hit the button and they get a cookie / go outside / throw the ball, then they just have to make contact with the button (even if it doesn’t make a sound) to trigger the reward / action and then they have to hit it hard enough to make it speak. Worth it? OMG YES!!!! Have fun! @maynard_dog_training #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainer #fun #game #cookie #river #riverbanks #lovemygirl #servicedogintraining

So much fun in our Obedience 101 class today for Zeke & his mama and daddy! A little off-leash work on recall and the fundamentals (sit, down, leave it) in an agility setting which makes it way more interesting and challenging for all involved! Loved seeing how confident Zeke was moving around the room and working at a distance from mom and dad! It also gives everyone confidence to not rely on the leash (when you’re working on leash) to do the work for the pup when you know they can do it themselves! Nice job all round 🥰😁👍😎🔥 @maynard_dog_training @dogtopiawarwick #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #ace #rockstar
