Training a dog to walk calmly and perfectly on a leash takes patience and consistency. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you teach your dog to walk on a leash without pulling or getting distracted:

Step 1: Choose the Right Equipment

• Leash: Use a standard 4-6 foot leash, which gives enough freedom but keeps control. Avoid retractable leashes, as they encourage pulling.
• Collar or Harness: For some dogs, a regular flat collar works well. Others may benefit from a front-clip harness to discourage pulling.

Step 2: Start Indoors or in a Controlled Space

• Familiarize Your Dog with the Leash: Let your dog sniff the leash and get used to it. Attach it to their collar and let them walk around inside to adjust.
• Introduce Commands: Teach basic commands like “sit” and “stay” in a controlled environment to help your dog learn to focus on you.

Step 3: Set a Consistent Heel Position

• Decide on Your Side: Choose which side you’d like your dog to walk on (left or right) and stick with it. Consistency helps your dog understand their place.
• Reward Heel Position: Stand still, with treats in your hand on the chosen side, and wait for your dog to come near that side. Reward them with a treat whenever they’re in the correct position.

Step 4: Start Walking Slowly

• Keep Walks Short at First: Begin with short, slow walks around the house or yard. Reward your dog frequently whenever they’re walking calmly by your side.
• Use Treats and Praise: Hold a treat by your hip and reward your dog regularly to reinforce staying close. Gradually reduce treats over time as your dog improves.

Step 5: Teach “Let’s Go” and “Heel”

• “Let’s Go” Command: Say “Let’s go” in a cheerful voice to start walking. This cues your dog to move with you.
• Use “Heel” for Focused Walking: For a closer, more focused position, teach “heel” by using treats to guide your dog into place. Reward them whenever they stay close by your side.

Step 6: Correct Pulling Gently

• Stop Moving if They Pull: If your dog starts pulling, stop walking immediately. Stand still until they return to your side, and then resume walking.
• Walk in the Opposite Direction: If they keep pulling, turn around and walk in the opposite direction. This helps teach them that pulling doesn’t get them where they want to go.

Step 7: Gradually Increase Distractions

• Practice in Different Settings: Once your dog is doing well indoors, practice in your yard, a quiet street, or a park. Start with low-distraction areas and gradually move to busier places.
• Use Treats Sparingly as They Improve: As your dog masters leash walking, give treats less frequently and rely more on praise and encouragement.

Step 8: Reinforce with Regular Practice

• Be Consistent: Practice leash walking every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
• Maintain Calm and Patience: If your dog becomes distracted, remain calm, and gently guide them back into position.

Step 9: Troubleshoot Common Issues

• For Lunging: If your dog lunges at people or other dogs, try increasing the distance and reinforcing calm behavior with treats and praise.
• For Stopping Frequently: If your dog constantly stops to sniff, allow some sniff breaks, but keep them brief and on your terms.

Step 10: Progress to Longer Walks and Reduce Treats

• Longer Walks: Gradually increase walk length as your dog gets better at staying close.
• Use Praise as a Primary Reward: Shift to verbal praise and the occasional treat as your dog perfects their leash walking.

With practice and patience, your dog will learn to enjoy walking by your side!

A dog is not something you buy and just toss it away. A dog requires a lot of attention and love. You have to always make sure you have fed it and the kennel is 🧼 clean. Taking it for walks.
Let’s try to value our dogs by trying to see them as family members not as a stranger. A dog is not something you have to abuse thinking it doesn’t have feelings and because it doesn’t speak 🗣️ yet you are totally wrong dogs do have feelings too and dogs speaks to those who listens to them.

Let’s value our dogs

Just thought to share this so that people would understand duties performed by a dog trainer and behaviorist? And also certificates carried by each to become a certified dog trainer or behaviorist

What is a Dog Trainer?
Dog trainers, also known as behavior counselors or pet therapists, have varying levels of knowledge and experience. Their training may include both formal and informal education. Many dog trainers are self-taught through reading, while others attend professional classes. Still others learn by apprenticing with experienced trainers. Some trainers don’t hold a professional certification, but can still train dogs effectively. They teach specific skill sets, including obedience, agility, tracking, and search and rescue. They may work with individual dogs or group classes.
Dog trainers who attend specialized schools become certified by an independent organization after they meet specific requirements. Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDTs) are people who have earned their title by passing a standardized test administered by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. They demonstrate knowledge of canine husbandry, behavior, and teaching skills. CPDTs also work a required number of hours as a dog trainer and submit letters of recommendation before earning their certification.
In general, dog trainers generally address behavior issues by trying to resolve the symptom (what is happening) rather than the underlying cause (why it is happening).

What are Applied Animal Behaviorists?
An applied animal behaviorist is a person with advanced college education (MS, MA, or PhD degree) and expertise in dog, cat, and other domestic animal behavior. Some Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists (CAABs) are veterinarians who complete a residency in animal behavior after graduating from veterinary school. These individuals have a title that includes DVM. CAABs study animal behavior, biology, zoology, psychology, and learning theory, so they have lots of scientific, research, and medical knowledge. These highly educated individuals are an exclusive group that has a firm grasp on the normal behavior of animals, which helps them recognize the abnormal.
CAABs are kind of like pet psychologists. They teach the pet owner why the behavior is happening and make specific recommendations on how to change it. They are experts in behavior modification and know what techniques to employ to change undesirable behaviors. CAABs are also teachers; they can effectively counsel pet owners and educate pet owners on how to understand their pet’s behavior prior to changing it.
Moreover, they can possibly identify potential medical causes of abnormal behavior and know the medications that will enhance behavior modification. Depending on laws where you live, CAABs may be able to recommend or prescribe drugs that address emotional issues such as separation anxiety, phobias, and compulsive behaviors. However, CAABs do not treat physical problems like veterinarians do, so they work closely with veterinarians who refer cases to them.

7 Different Groups or Categories of Dog Breeds

it's important to understand the different types of dogs and the 7 different groups of dog breeds. Each dog breed has unique characteristics, behaviours, and requirements, so it's essential to choose the right one that fits your family's lifestyle and personality.
There are different categories of dogs based on their purpose, which include working dogs, companion dogs and hunting dogs. Each group is classified according to the dog's historical purpose, physical characteristics and temperament.

1)Toy Breeds
Toy breeds often resemble the size of a toy stuffed animal and have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their adorable appearance and portability.
They make great pets for those living in small spaces such as apartments or for those who cannot handle large dogs due to physical limitations. Despite their small size, they have a big personality, easily excitable and can be quite feisty.
It is important to note that toy breeds are not just cute accessories, they still require a lot of attention and care. They should not be left alone for extended periods of time and need regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy.

2)Terriers
Terriers were bred to hunt vermin and rodents. Their job was to locate a burrow or a hole in the ground and sometimes dig to catch prey. Their name comes from the Latin word 'terra' which means earth. Terriers are energetic, tenacious, and courageous. They are highly trainable and need daily exercise to keep them stimulated. If you’re training a dog, check out our range of training treats to reinforce positive behaviour and forge a bond between you and your pet.
One of the most popular terriers is the Jack Russell. They are small and have a lot of energy, which makes them a great companion for active families. They are loyal, intelligence, affectionate, and enjoy playing games.
Scottish Terriers, also known as Scotties, are a medium-sized terrier breed known for their independent and stubborn nature. They are loyal dogs and can be protective of their families. Scotties are also known for their distinctive appearance, with their long eyebrows and beard. Like most terriers, they require daily exercise and mental stimulation, and they respond well to positive reinforcement training.

3)Working Dogs
Working dogs were bred for specific tasks, such as pulling sleds, guarding, or search and rescue. Examples of working dogs include German Shepherds and Border Collies. These dogs are intelligent, require training and mental stimulation to prevent them from becoming bored or destructive. Border Collies are highly intelligent dogs and are often considered the smartest of all dog breeds. They were originally bred for herding sheep, and they excel in obedience and agility trials. ��They are not typically recommended for apartment living since they require lots of space to run and play. They can also become anxious or bored if left alone for long periods, which can lead to destructive behaviours like digging or chewing. Proper training and socialisation can help prevent these issues and make Border Collies excellent pets for active and dedicated owners who are willing to put in the time and effort to meet their needs.

4)Hounds
Hounds are known for their exceptional sense of smell and were bred for hunting. They come in different sizes and are classified into scent hounds and sight hounds. Examples of hounds include Beagles, Greyhounds, and Bloodhounds. These dogs need regular exercise and mental stimulation.��Scent hounds are known for their exceptional sense of smell, which allows them to follow a scent trail over long distances. They have a powerful nose and are used for tracking game animals, such as deer and wild boar. Examples of scent hounds include Beagles, Bloodhounds, and Basset Hounds.
These dogs have a strong instinct to follow their nose, so they need a secure area to play and regular exercise to keep them stimulated. Sight hounds, on the other hand, are known for their incredible speed and agility. They are used for hunting game animals that are difficult to catch, such as rabbits. Examples of sight hounds include Greyhounds, Whippets, and Salukis.
These dogs have a keen sense of vision and are able to spot prey from a distance. Sight hounds need regular exercise to keep them fit and healthy, and they also need a secure area to run around in. We recommend our range of electric dog fences & containment systems to train and contain sighthounds.

5)Herding Dogs
Herding dogs were bred for controlling and moving livestock, such as sheep and cattle. They are highly intelligent, trainable and energetic.
Examples of herding dogs include Border Collies and Corgis, which are not just a cute toy dog but a ‘real’ working dog that is still used to herd cattle and sheep in Wales. These dogs need regular exercise, training and mental stimulation.��Australian Shepherds are another popular herding breed. They are energetic, loyal, and highly trainable. They have a strong work ethic and are often used for search and rescue missions.

6)Sporting Dogs
Sporting dogs were bred for hunting and retrieving game birds. They have excellent hunting instincts, are highly trainable, and need regular exercise. Examples of sporting dogs include Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Cocker Spaniels. Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of sporting dogs.
They are known for their friendly disposition, loyalty and intelligence. They have a natural instinct for retrieving game and are excellent swimmers. They make great family pets, but they require regular stimulation.
Labrador Retrievers are also popular sporting dogs. They are highly trainable and are known for their friendly and outgoing personality. They make great family pets and are excellent with children. They require need of exercise and they love to retrieve and swim.

7)Non-Sporting Dogs
Non-sporting dogs are a diverse group that doesn't fit into any other category. They vary in size, shape, and temperament. Examples of non-sporting dogs include Bulldogs, Poodles, and Dalmatians. These dogs need regular exercise, training and mental stimulation. ��Bulldogs are a breed known for their wrinkly faces and stocky build. They have a calm and friendly nature which makes them great companion dogs.
However, they are prone to obesity, and regular exercise is essential to keep them healthy. Bulldogs also need training to prevent them from developing nuisance behaviour.
