Here are some new exercises to help your dog to walk on the lead nice #
Walk the Square #
- In your garden create a square using sticks, or any suitable objects you have available
- Make the square quite small to begin with
- Always keep your dog to the same side if you can
- Start at the first post and walk your dog to the next one
- Quickly turn at the next post and walk to the next one
- Once you have completed the square try again and this time the reverse direction
- If you dog walks without pulling use lots of praise!
- Make the square larger as you progress
Quickly, Slowly #
Walking at the same pace can quite boring for your dog so changing the pace can help to get some focus.
- Start walking at your normal pace
- Say “quickly” to your dog and quicken your pace
- Then say “ok” and go back to the normal pace
- Next say “slowly” and walk very slowly followed by “ok” to return to normal
- Repeat on your normal walks
