More Info On Training

It takes time for your pup to learn the desired behavior for walking on a leash. I think this is something people give up on too easily. If you start early and continue the training daily, they will catch on. You have to be firm in discouraging the bad behavior, but never hit or beat your puppy or dog. Walks should be looked upon as a pleasant experience for your pet and you.

To help control pulling, there are many things you can try. Some people use choke collars, harnesses are another method, and many people like the head harnesses(specifically designed to stop a dog from pulling). I have tried all of these and found that one method works for one dog, but you will need one of the other methods for another dog. In other words, trial and error, is sometimes the only way to determine what method to use. Your puppy or dog will probably not like any of the methods and will try to be difficult. You must be patient and consistent in your training.

I feel it is very important to praise them for anything they do that you want them to do. That way they learn from the start that exhibiting good behavior traits gets them praise. They want to please you, so they learn to do the positive things. Some people use treats for rewarding good behavior. I am not against that, I use treats for training as well. It is just not a good idea to only use treats, praise works also. I like to combine both treats and words of praise with each training session.
