Hi again Dog Lovers, this is Adnan Khan, I am a professional trainer and behavior specialist for dogs. I'm the owner and founder of k9 school. I'm here again at DogSpot.in FAQ videos to answer a couple of queries that we keep regularly getting on a comment section of the videos and we hope that you guys keep watching viewing that section and keep adding in your queries on the comments as well.
Why does my dog pull on her leash?
So, recently we got an update from Mumbai for a Labrador Retriever who's about two years old and the owner had a severe problem with the dog pulling always on the leash when they go out on walks.
Now what they are facing is that every time they go out on walks the dog pulls them so much that either the handler falls or the dog ends up getting into a fight with another dog or you know and slowly it is made the owners, you know stop taking the dog outside so what will eventually end up happening is that this problem will still keep on increasing more and more if we don't do something about it now.
What do you do when your dog plays a tug of war with a leash?
So here obviously I can give you very few tips, I cannot give you a step-by-step tutorial for that obviously we are always there you can reach out to us directly. So the problem with leash pulling is that nobody really trains the dog how to behave on the leash or on the collar from day one.
They just put on the leash and they take the dog outside. Now the other thing is one of the main you know factors that I like to point out when it comes to leash walking is the person who is walking the dog, they influence the dog to pull a lot this is something that a lot of people a lot of you would not know about is that if I am walking the dog and if I am very calm and I ignore the environment, the dog is also happy to sniff around and walk and not pull but in case I always see a stray dog and I always wind up the leash.I always get tensed.
I always get prepared for the dog pulling me then we're always loading the dog we're always training them that whenever you see something in front you're supposed to lunge at them you're supposed to attack them and day by day over a span of two years it becomes a very bad habit. Now most of this is a human training issue, this is not a canine training or a canine behavior issue but over a period of time it has become a problem behavior or a nuisance behavior.
Now the biggest problem is that most people abandon their dogs or they tie up their dogs at home or they just totally stop exercising their dogs because they say "oh he pulls so much" but only if we got to realize that we have to train ourselves the right way to you know walk the dog then we're not going to have any of these problems in the very beginning and the simplest of things is that the dog should come to the collar to wear the collar, the dog should wait sit and wait to put the leash on them the dog should sit and wait at every doorway that we pass through that is the right way of walking the dog.
When you're out on the street if you're crossing the road. the dog should always be sitting first waiting for the cars to pass then you cross the road and on the road you should not be taking the dog on a leash to meet everyone that passes by or every dog that passes by because you're teaching the dog to pull you towards new things, right? So you have to teach a lot of neutral and balanced behaviors and everything can be taught using food and treats from the very beginning just like training any behaviors any commands.
My dogs, they jump into the collar when I asked them to wear it my dogs wait and sit when I put on the leash and when they're out on walks they're walking right next to me it doesn't always have to be stuck next to you but they do they shouldn't be pulling and causing you strain on your shoulders.
How do I stop my leash pulling in 5 minutes?
So keep these few things in mind and also if you want further information we do specific seminars as well like the leash pullers workshop we've done a couple of volumes of that and we every month we do dog training and behavior courses as well so anyone who wants a deeper understanding and a more wider knowledge about these dog training and behavior queries, you can always reach out to us at DogSpot.in or me directly.
