Human-Leash-Dog Part 1 - Intensive Dog Training Course

Some call it leash training; we say “geh ma zam” Does your dog pull, and do you want him to learn to walk on a loose leash? In Part 1 of the Human-Leash-Dog series, you’ll learn the basics of walking on a loose leash.   This requires not only practical exercises but also an understanding of why it’s so hard for your dog not to pull. The leash should be a positive experience for your dog, not just a source of restriction and frustration. You and your dog will learn to associate the leash with positive experiences and have fun working toward the goal of walking on a loose leash using verbal cues and without relying on nonverbal communication. The leash is becoming increasingly important as more and more areas require dogs to be on a leash, and spaces for carefree off-leash play are becoming fewer and fewer. If your dog only experiences frustration and restriction on the leash, there’s a very high probability that, when encountering other dogs, leash-related altercations and/or leash aggression will eventually become the norm. That’s why it’s so crucial to focus just as much on positive leash handling and gently establishing a loose leash as on a well-trained recall. I look forward to helping you with this.
