Dog walks are great exercise for both you and your dog and it gives you a chance to bond. However, dog walks are no fun at all if your dogs are dragging you around the neighborhood by his leash. Thus you need to teach your dog to walk with a slack leash. Train your dog when he is alert but not overly excited. Start walking and continue as long as the leash is slack. If it becomes taut, turn around quickly and head the other way. Call your dog’s name so he needs to hustle to keep up. Repeat this procedure as often as needed. Praise your dog if he continues with a slack leash. Never punish or yell at your dog while he is learning. Soon dog walks will become a pleasure as your dog walks with you instead of dragging you along. For more information, contact your veterinarian Norwalk, CA.
