www.bighoneydog.com / Honey the Great Dane ‘re-learns’ her “house rules” in her new home in Brisbane. Honey was taught these rules from Day 1 at home as a baby puppy – really worthwhile putting in the time & effort to train these sorts of “house rules” as it makes the dog much easier & safer to live with. No worries about bolting out the door and running into the street or ‘counter-surfing’! Much easier to start young than to try & correct bad habits later. Just need some repetition & consistency in the beginning and some “refresher training” in new environments and the dog will stick to good habits. Having these same rules as the old home actually helped Honey settle quicker into her new one, as dogs like the security of consistent boundaries & routines.

Leash training your dog can be a “walk in the park” if you know the right things to do. On the other hand, it can be a grueling ordeal if your dog continually fights the leash and misbehaves. Walking your dog can be a great way to establish and maintain a positive relationship with your dog if you follow some simple steps.

We’ve all seen dogs dragging their owners down the street at the end of the leash, desperate to get to their favorite bush, fire hydrant or park bench so they can read the p-mails left by other dogs – and, of course, leave one of their own!  And if you’re the owner of a dog that has a mind of his own when walking, you’re no doubt frazzled and frustrated, and you possibly dread this daily event.

Don’t “push and pull.” Refuse to walk with your dog if he insists on pulling you down the walkway. Plant your feet firmly in the ground, lean back to get leverage, and refuse to budge until your dog gives the leash some slack and comes closer to you.

Make walking by your side a positive experience. Screaming “heel” or “pull” at your dog does not work and is certainly not fun.  Instead, some experts recommend randomly rewarding your dog with a tasty treat when he’s by your side as you reinforce his behavior with the word “close.” Don’t use the word “good dog” because your dog has no idea what he did that was good so how can he repeat it?

Once your dog begins to walk consistently at your side you can begin dishing out a series of 5-7 random treats along the way.  You could also bring his favorite toy and reward him when you get to the park by allowing him to play with it.

Most experts agree that choke collars and collars with prongs do not belong in dog training. These devices can cause your dog pain. Using painful tactics only teaches a dog to be fearful of you rather than strengthening your relationship. Instead, use a normal flat collar and exercise control through verbal reinforcement and treats.

Keep the same length of leash at all times. To keep your dog from pulling on his leash, you must teach him that he only has a certain length available and that you’re in control of it. It’s also a mistake to use a retractable leash while you’re training him and you should save it for use once he has learned how to walk correctly by your side and not you pull you down the street.

When you hold the leash with only your hand, it’s easy for your dog to pull away by forcing you to extend your arm.  To avoid this, keep both hands free, which will assist you in planting your body when he’s pulling.  Slipping the end of a sturdy belt through the loop end of the leash, and fastening it around your waist will assist you in holding your dog near your side.

Remember to hold your ground when your dog pulls on the leash. Stopping, planting your feet and lowering your center of gravity will help you to hold your ground. Your dog must learn that the walk will only continue if he is not pulling on his leash and on you. Resume walking only after your dog stops pulling on the leash. As soon as he backs up – even a little bit- creating some slack on the leash, resume the walk with the phrase “let’s walk.” Continuing to hold your ground each time he pulls and continuing to walk only after he has backed up and allowed slack on the leash will eventually result in correct walking.  As your dog walks correctly down the street with you, remember to repeat the word “walk,” reinforcing his behavior.

Talk to your dog and praise him constantly along the way. This is a great way to keep him in tune with you and your pace.  If you don’t pay attention to your dog, the message he will receive is that he’s on his own and can do whatever he pleases. Ignoring your dog when he’s walking correctly and only giving him attention when he walks incorrectly will only lead to more unwanted behavior just to get noticed by you! So, remember to give your dog undivided attention during your daily walks. Cell phones will have to stay at home!

By following these recommendations consistently and patiently, you’ll soon experience increased pleasure in walking your dog and the two of you will look forward to these walks with enthusiasm!

I am planning on getting a dog, but I’ve never had one before and I don’t know the first thing about training. I want to train it so it doesn’t end up like my cousin’s dog who jumps all over people and barks at everything. I want my dog to be my buddy so please hook me up with some sort of DVD to give me the basics of training my new dog right.

Do you know any dog training websites?
I’m also wondering if there are any websites with high-quality clips/videos on training. I’m taking a class soon and I am interested in getting a head start.

I would like to teach my dog some cool trick such as dance, roll over, sit, stand, lay down, play dead, and all the other cool tricks dogs can do. I also would like to train my dog to walk with me without a leash, and so on. Does anyone know a really good web-site that provides good training methods? Thanks!

Possibly somewhere in New York or around New York like New Jersey or Conneticut or something. I’m looking for one of those training facilities that has boarding for your dog and, of course, a training program. (Example: k9one) I’ve already looked at k9one, but I was hoping some could give me a place with a cheaper price. Please provide a link or something so that I can check it out myself. Thank you!

I currently have my 5 month old in puppy class. I was going to go through all 4 classes at Petsmart, but now I’m thinking I could save about $300.00 and teach my dog the same things (and probably more), if I invest in a good book or DVD. Any suggestions? I’d prefer a DVD, but books are fine too. That way I can also apply the training to our other two dogs at the same time.
I do have a clicker… I was very impressed with how easy and quickly she responded to it. I take my dogs to the dog park so they do a lot of socializing there. I’m just not very impressed with the training I’m getting. Asking questions is hard, because I think the trainer is more distracted than the dogs.
