Leash Training Your Puppy Can Be a Most Rewarding (and Challenging) Experience!
The sooner you start leash training your puppy, the sooner he will be able to walk with you in a safe, happy environment. However, this isn't always an easy task. Puppies are often afraid of collars and leashes; and as such, should be introduced to them in a loving and patient way.
Before you start leash training your puppy, you should buy him a collar with an ID tag, a leash, and some of his favorite treats. You need a regular dog collar, choke collars are not recommended for leash training.
Start the training session by putting the collar comfortably, but securely around the puppy's neck. He will probably paw at the collar and roll around at first. Don't laugh at him or encourage this in any way, but don't punish or scold him either. After a few minutes the puppy will forget it's there.
Once the puppy accepts the collar, you should attach the leash. Don't pull him; just let him walk around wearing it for a while. Do this indoors with supervision so the puppy can't tangle the leash on something and become hurt. After a few minutes, take the leash off. Repeat this process several times while leash training your puppy. Attaching the leash to his collar at meal times will help him to associate the leash with something pleasant.
After he is comfortable wearing the leash, pick up the other end. Don't walk him; instead let him lead you around if he wishes. Try not to put him in a position where he wants to pull or strain against the leash. Try luring him towards you. If he comes, give him lots of praise and possible a treat; if he doesn't come don't punish or scold him because that will only make him more afraid of the leash.
When he begins to walk praise him generously. Every part of leash training needs to be as pleasant for the puppy as possible. When the puppy is comfortable walking on the leash, practice in a familiar area without distractions. Gradually widen the walking area.
Once wearing the collar and walking on the leash are conquered, it's time for you and your puppy to learn how to manipulate stairs. The same patience and encouragement required for leash training is necessary for training your puppy to climb stairs. You should find a wide, inviting staircase and sit at the base of the steps with your puppy.
Go up one step and encourage your puppy to follow with your voice and a treat. If he follows make a huge fuss telling him how wonderful he is and give him the treat. Repeat this until he is no longer intimidated by the stairs. While leash training your puppy, never punish him for not climbing the stairs or try to force him. Forcing him will only impede the training process and give him something else to be afraid of.
Although leash training your puppy can be challenging it is absolutely necessary for his safety. Remember, new puppies are a great responsibility and this is only one small part of the training the puppy will need for a smooth and happy transition from a puppy to a dog.

Two Ends of a Leash: Unshackled $27.78 Two Ends of a Leash: Unshackled is the life story of author Grace D. Napier. Born blind, Grace came from a humble home in New Jersey. She began school when there were no special education programs for children who were blind. The teachers and principal regarded Grace as not only blind, but also mentally retarded. Because they misunderstood her disability, they ignored her, letting her sit idle at her desk every day. Nevertheless, Grace had a hunger to learn. When her parents heard about a special education program in the next city, Grace met Miss Katharine Taylor, her new special education teacher. Graces life was forever changed, thanks to the influence of this gifted teacher. Now eightyfive, Grace resides in Colorado after a long career of teaching children and graduate students at three universities. Grace began using Seeing Eye dog guides when she was seventeen years old. She is now working with her ninth dog, Esma (shown on the front cover). Read her fascinating and inspiring story.

Chico Tails: Notches on a Leash $18.68 Whatever has led you to pick up this book, quick, look around and be sure none of your friends, relatives or anyone else sees you with it. Do not let on that youre curious, let alone that youre thinking of buying it. This book has zero redeeming qualities. Nada, nilch, zippo. Just bringing it to the register will raise eyebrows, much like a teenager buying protection for the first time, or worse yet, a married woman buying a Kama Sutra book. But for goodness sakes, dont steal it merely to avoid the embarrassment because it will only mean Hell to pay for all three of us; you, me and Chico. Author: Zane, Sam Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 272 Publication Date: 2006/11/01 Language: English Dimensions: 8.00 x 5.00 x 0.61 inches |
