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
