Question
A Lick In Time!
Lilee began sitting on command at 9 weeks; super responsive. She pulls on lead; I have her sit then proceed and the pull continues. Lilee does heel on command for brief periods. Goal is to allow her to sniff and then walk by my left side without pulling. She sits when people approach and is very socialized daily in the park with other dogs of all ages. The question is what techniques to use when walking so Lilee stops pulling and learns walking manners.
AnswerEasier dogs will give up their pulling with a few good snaps of the leash combined with a stern "Bad dog!". You can work up to forceful corrections with the leash doubled up in both hands and your whole body behind it. But you don't want to use any more force than you need. One gentle technique I like is to just stop when he pulls. He wants to go. If you move forward when the leash is slack, and stop when he pulls, he should quickly figure out the only way to get to go, is not to pull. This is about teaching him not to pull, not getting somewhere. The man that taught it to me said "If in a half hour you haven't made it out to the front walk, fine, you have taught him a lesson. Pulling the dog backwards is a good technique too.
