๐พ Throwback to a Winning Leash Training Session! ๐๐
Rewinding to a valuable lesson thatโs always worth sharing: successful leash walking is a dance of patience, guidance, and mutual respect. Here are some golden nuggets from one of our favorite training throwbacks:
1๏ธโฃ Treats as a Compass: Guide your furry friend by placing treats where you want them - by your side. This encourages them to stay close without the need for a tight leash. ๐โก๏ธ๐พ
2๏ธโฃ Practice Makes Perfect: Choose a familiar, low-distraction setting for initial practice. Our star pupil began in his own front yard, focusing on the walk rather than new distractions. ๐กโจ
3๏ธโฃ Leash Etiquette: Keep the leash slack at all times. The goal is for neither you nor your dog to pull on the leash, creating a stress-free walking environment. ๐๏ธโฐ
4๏ธโฃ Start with Short Successes: Even walking a few paces back and forth is a big win. Celebrate these small steps and keep the energy positive! ๐๐ถโโ๏ธ
5๏ธโฃ Pacing with Your Pup: Dogs naturally move faster than we do, averaging 4 mph. Start with a quick pace to match your dogโs energy, gradually introducing varied speeds as you both advance. ๐๐จ
The magic is in the details: a slack leash signifies trust and cooperation, paving the way for enjoyable and harmonious walks. Keep sessions light-hearted, sprinkle in plenty of praise and treats, and watch your walking duo thrive. ๐๐พ
Stay tuned for more timeless tips to enhance your training journey!
