Leash Training 101
The Elements of The Walk: How Loose Leash Walking Can Be a Tool to Success
Training your dog with Del Dog Training Means Better Behavior
No one likes having to fight with their dog or fear being pulled into the street when you take your dog for a walk. A little secret to fixing this behavior is heeling. Our expert dog trainer at Del Dog Training teaches practical, easy-to-learn heel commands that help your dog be calm, confident, and focused on your walks on cue.
Heeling also helps you communicate with your pup and gives them a job (focusing on you). With time and leash walking command practice, your dog will learn to build up its focus and confidence simultaneously, which makes distractions less distracting and problem behaviors melt away.
Walk your dog with peace of mind when you train with Del Dog Training!
No More Pulling, Yanking, Sniffing or Shouting
Good heeling isn’t taught through yelling, discipline, or pulling. At Del Dog Training, we teach that heeling is a mental skill that helps your dog connect with you, so that they don’t check out when it matters the most.
Better focus on you means that your dog can ignore problem-causing stimuli better when you train a dog to walk on leash. This could look like:
- Other dogs, reactive or calm
- Prey animals like squirrels, rabbits, and even deer
- Strangers on foot, bikes, rollerblades, or skateboards
Build a Better Bond with Top-Notch Leash Manners
Building your pup’s confidence and mental fortitude by prioritizing their focusing skills helps you communicate better and have a better experience on your daily walks. Good leash manners go a long way toward good citizenship and a stress-free walking experience.
Teach your dog to walk on a leash using our proven training techniques, while also building a strong relationship with your dog.
