Pet owners who raise dogs all know that a leash is a very important tool in dog care, especially when taking the dog for a walk. It can prevent the dog from getting lost and avoid accidents where the dog might hurt someone. However, when you first put the leash on the dog, it will definitely feel uncomfortable. So today, the editor from Boqi Net will talk about how to let your dog get used to the leash. Let's take a look below.

1. How to train your dog not to pull on the leash. When you are walking outside and your dog keeps pulling on the leash to run, you should stop and wait. When it turns its head towards you, say "come!". If it comes back to your side, tell it "sit!". If it follows this, you can reward it, and then continue the walk. Repeat this process until it learns to walk beside you, instead of pulling the leash forward.

2. Let your dog burn off some energy before going out for a walk. When your dog is very excited and full of energy, it will pull and bite the leash, resisting you. So, if you want your dog to like being walked on a leash, it's best to play with it indoors for a while until it gets tired before going outside. Then it will be obedient when leashed.

3. Reward your dog when it walks beside you, so it knows it should walk in the correct position. Let your dog understand your commands through your voice. Use a low tone to make your dog stop what it's doing, and use a firm voice when training or giving commands.

4. When you are about to take your dog outside, it may get extremely excited, constantly jumping at you and barking. If this problem is not addressed when the dog is young, it will be harder to solve as it grows. If your dog keeps jumping on you before you put on the leash, you need to wait until it is completely calm before leashing it and getting ready to go out. Repeat this until your dog learns to behave.

The above are ways to let your dog get used to the leash. We hope this can help everyone. The editor reminds you that some dogs may be very resistant during training. Pet owners must be patient, do not shout at the dog, and never apply violence to the dog.
