How to leash train a dog: useful life hacks
Dog leash training is important both for the safety of the animal and for the owner's peace of mind. SSPDaily has prepared effective life hacks that will help you train your dog to the leash.
Positive reinforcement
By using treats or verbal praise to encourage your dog to walk on a leash and rewarding him when he does, you create a positive association with the leash. So your dog will be better prepared to do so.
Gradual training
Allow your dog to wear the leash in the house or yard for short periods of time. This will help him get used to the leash without the added stress of being outside. It's important to watch your dog's body language during this process to make sure he starts to feel more comfortable.
Take your dog for regular walks
It's important to walk your dog on a leash regularly, even if he resists at first. By following a certain routine, you will help him understand that walking on a leash is a standard part of his life, which will eliminate his fear of it. Patience and gentle guidance during walks will allow the animal to adapt at its own pace.
