Dog Training on a Lead

Good lead walking can prevent aggression on the lead

Dog’s that react with barking or lunging, when on the lead, are more often than not, nervous dogs. If your dog is on the lead and something frightens him, he can’t run away so he has no other choice than to do something to try to get rid of the thing that is frightening him.

If you train your dog well, with positive reward-based training methods, your dog will have confidence in you. Your dog will trust you to look after him.

Teaching your dog to sit when you ask, despite distractions. Teach your dog to come back when you call him, despite distractions.

Sit must mean sit. Come must mean Come.

Dogs have no interest in ruling the world. Your dog just needs you to teach him, kindly and fairly, what it is you would like from him.

Walking well alongside you on the lead means you can support your dog if he sees something that frightens him.

If you don’t train your dog properly you probably have to spend a lot of time correcting his behaviour. Most likely there are times when you’re not consistent. This will affect your dog’s confidence.

Be kind but firm. Be clear and consistent. Build your dog’s confidence and build your dog’s trust in you.
