Even if your dog is brought well up and during walk does not pay attention to passersby, cars, dogs and cats, it is better to walk her in lively places on a lead. For a start you should accustom the pet to this subject. The few dogs perceive restriction of freedom with ease therefore it is necessary to accustom an animal to a lead gradually.
Instruction
1. Accustom a dog to a lead only when she completely gets used to a collar. If you put on the pet two unfamiliar subjects at once, he can be frightened and behave not absolutely adequately.
2. For the first time fasten a lead to a collar not on walk, and at home. Let the dog walk with it round the room familiar to it. In every possible way distract an animal from attempts to gnaw a subject unfamiliar to it. Do not use a lead as a toy at all.
3. The first time fasten a lead to a collar of a dog for only 5-10 minutes. And unfasten it only when the pet calms down, but not at the time of fight against an unfamiliar subject. So you exclude the probability of fixing of negative reaction of a dog to a lead.
4. Fasten a lead to a collar of a dog not less than two times a day. When she ceases to resist and protest, teach it to go on a lead on the apartment, treating with something tasty. Gradually reduce amount of delicacy, turning walk on a lead into the ordinary.
5. Having for the first time gone outside on a lead, the dog can get nervous, begin to panic, be frightened and refuse to move again. Try to calm her, talk to her tenderly, stroke, treat with favourite delicacy. The curiosity, as a rule, quickly wins against remnants of fear, and the dog sets off.
6. During walk do not pull a dog on a lead against her will, do not hurt it. Try to operate unostentatiously the pet, kind of prompting him the direction of the movement.
7. But at the same time do not allow a dog to pull you against your will. If necessary better make one sharp, but short breakthrough a lead. Remember that the effort of you is necessary for change of behavior of the pet, but not for his intimidation or punishment. The dog quickly will understand that the tension of a lead leads to unpleasant feelings and will learn to arrange the movements under your desires.
