Your dog needs to learn to walk with a leash and collar as soon as possible. It’s a tool for keeping children safe and out of trouble as they figure out how to navigate the challenges of adulthood.

 

They can’t possibly pay attention to instruction without this handy tool. Furthermore, in many jurisdictions, it is required by law when taking your dog for a stroll in town.

 

It’s essential to avoid the frequent pitfalls that dog owners make with leather dog collars while training their dogs. In this article, I’ll describe a few common blunders and the best way to avoid them.

Doggy ennui can cause undesirable behavior.

Disobedience, aggression, and destruction are all symptoms of boredom, as are “restlessness, whining, frequent barking,” according to the article. However, “these signs can frequently also suggest a more serious underlying illness, such as separation anxiety, so owners should be sure to rule that out by consulting with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist.”

Our common blunders as trainers

A few simple blunders can lead to leash training problems and future pullers. Avoid these:

• Leash-pulling

It’s useless. Mild pain won’t stop your puppy from pulling and won’t teach them anything. Dogs (like other animals) resist restraint, therefore pulling makes them pull harder. Your puppy pulls, and they advance. You retreat, then give in, but they keep going.

 

So they realize your pulling is ephemeral and theirs gets them where they want to go. Pulling does nothing.

• Leash-slackening when your dog pulls

A dog learns that pulling works. If your dog pulls, stop and don’t move until they do.

• Leash-snapping

The occasional snap on a leash is an effective correction, but most people do it wrongly and too often. First, loosen the leash, then snap it tight to shock a dog. It’s a homage. When used incorrectly and too often, your puppy pulls, feels the leash slacken, and is yanked back. A dog may assume a loose leash may snap, so it keeps it tight. Unacceptable.

• Pulling when your dog is coming

If your dog is approaching, don’t pull the leash. We want them to think the leash is completely freed when they move toward us, therefore never adding any back in. However, this is usually just a problem when using a long leash.

 

Assertion

It may take some time and patience, but you will need to get your dog used to wearing a collar and leash.

 

Your dog will need to be on a leash at all times when in public and while house training, so you may take them to and from their designated toilet area with ease.
