that makes so much sense.
Awesome Advice
this is very good information. don’t let the dog stop you, only you can make the dog stop cause if the dog stop to sniff on the ground, you’ll never know if he really has to go or just marking his territory. i didn’t know anything about this when i had my dog. now i’m ready to get another dog and learn from my mistakes.
Good point.
Good idea.
How do you teach the dog to ‘break’?
You need to put your dog in a controlled, calm environment to give him a chance to succeed. Alot of owners, who don’t have leash-trained dogs, throw their dogs into the big world (full of stimulus and excitement) and expect them to know how to cope. Try walking your dog inside the home, and praising him for not tugging on the leash. When he’s confortable and confident with that, move it to the backyard. One step at a time, set your dog up for success!
OMG…I have the same issue with my schnauzer…she is great with all her other commands..but walkin on a leash is a nightmare!!!! tried everything!!

AS an actual animal behaviour counsellor , I disagree, however, it is up to the individuals to seek out the best method for their particular problem.
I don’t want to get in to a slanging match with you but I would be interested in the latest (i.e. within last 2 years) science behind your (spouse’s ) APLHA thoery please?
I hope it is not based on the work conducted by observing wolves in captivity in the last century?
Being married to an animal behavior modification psychologist, I can say with some general authority that this is not as outdated as you think. Perhaps simplified and put in terms people can understand, yes. Perhaps even oversimplified. However, unless you’re yelling at your dog, hitting them, not walking them, or standing in one spot for a half hour (which I hope they’re not) it probably needs a behavior counselor like I need a hole in my head. AKA, wasted money.
This information is so outdated, it makes me want to cry….or scream!
Try reading some decent information by scientists who actually understand how dogs learn and it is not by you being the ALPHA…..it is by you understanding WHY the dog is reacting in this way……possibly out of frustration or fear…..so you have to habituate the dogs to other dogs in a calm manner and then build up to interaction if possible…check out a bona fide behaviour counsellor…it will be worth the money spent
My dogs go crazy when another dog approaches us when we are walking. The chichauah does not like other dogs and is getting harder to handle as he gets older. I try turning his head, Tell him no and stop and sometimes that works. Other times he is out of control. How or what can I break him of this when we are out walking?????
this is a great tip thnx…and i agree!
that is the same wit my doggie! he is a poodle terrior and he acts the same way! try watching some tv shows about the training dogs topic…i was watching a show and my dog is acting alot…calmer!
@Thewaterofthepool and tajuan1998, The problem here is basically the same. The dog doesn’t understand that you’re the Alpha and that what you say goes. A lot of times, this can be fixed by making the dog sit before you feed, before you put on the leash… before you do anything, really. Also, don’t let them run the house. If they misbehave, make them sit, lie down, roll over, etc until they’re back to looking to you. Should help immensely.
lol
i got a puppy named polo and he wont leave the yard and when i pull him he be tryin to get out of the collar and my cousin dog marco is da same way and they are brothers
it just helps for his back but be careful on his age get (side by side harness type) no back pain
I hope things work out for you and your dog!! Don’t forget to phase out the treats and replace them with verbal praise when she’s got the hang of it. Also, if she does try to pull, just stop moving; in her mind it should be, “When I pull we stop moving forward.”
Best of luck! :-)
