Re: How do you get your dog to walk on a leash?       04/04/06 07:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Janey Reged: 10/25/03 Posts: 1716 Loc: Maryland This is a tough one. You do have to be in control. I have had dogs in the past that would grab the leash or pull. I always kept the leash short and spoke in a firm voice until they calmed down. She will get it eventually, labs and shepards are smart dogs. I have heard from dog trainers that you have to speak in a calm firm voice but not sound frantic. If you sound frantic then the dog senses that and won't listen. It is also a good idea to have her stop and sit at corners and wait for you to go. This gets her used to you being in charge. I am lucky now that my dog,a yellow lab, will walk without a leash and stay right by me. We got her when she was 8 months old and already leash trained but them we trained her to walk with us without a leash. I don't do this if we are in an area with traffic. Only on quiet streets but in Spain we could walk her just about anywhere without a leash. Good Luck! -------------------- Janey Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
