How To Stop Your Dog From Pulling On The Leash While Walking
By Michael Colucci
Dogs which pull on their leash while walking with you is a common problem seen among many different breeds. This problem can be seen in puppies as well as adult dogs. Dogs which pull on their leash while you walk this is more than just aggravating. If the leash breaks, the could run and put itself or others in danger. You should want to walk your dog, not have it walking you.

There are a number of different reasons why your will pull on the leash. Some dogs are so happy to go for a walk that they are out of control, and are anxious to move about. Other dogs see themselves as being the leader, and will move forward with force because they feel that they are moving ahead of the pack. If you r is very happy about going out, it may help to give them some time to calm down. You can stand still with the for a few minutes until they become more relaxed.

If the feels that it is the leader, this is a sign that you should begin training him. The owner has to show the that they are the leader. When you don't have this understanding with your dog, it will be impossible

to train them properly. If your shows signs of control, it is best to go back to simple obedience training. If you don't have the time to train the yourself, it may be best to send them to a training school.

The instructor can train you as well as your dog, and they can show you how to keep the from trying to be the leader. Skilled instructors should always work with both you and your dog. The first step in getting the not to pull on the leash is to get it to accept the collar. If the is moving around a lot while you are trying to put on the collar, this is a sign that your will pull against the leash. Start by commanding your to sit or stay while you put on the collar. If the gets up after you've put on the collar, make him sit back down quickly.

You should only walk the after it sits down calmly and allows you to put on the collar and leash. Once the collar is on, don't allow the to jump up and rush ahead towards the door. Gently pull back on the leash. Make him sit back down again, and repeat the process until he gets the message.
