How to master a walk with your dog?
Well, Majority of pet parents are confused on how to treat, handle or manage a dog on the walk. Today we will be talking on how to train a dog along with ourself getting trained on how to walk our best friend. Many dog owner comes in stating their dog pulls, drags, pounces, eat anything on ground and so on. However lets first focus on the equipment we will require in order to train a dog to behave on walk and to master the walk. Firstly a collar is required, however it cannot be flat collar or a harness. It has to be a Slip on chain or Slip on collar. Remember the key thing, dogs alway belongs to a pack i.e Group of dog, as they are a pack animal and they consider we human as a pack. Basically a dogs pack always consist of alpha male and a alpha female. In order to master a walk, we need to master the leadership first. The dog must consider we human as a alpha male or alpha female and thats the key, Once the dog consider us as a alpha we are done. We can always show the dog their place in the family and can be a alpha for them by demonstrating some daily activity with them. For eg:- Never ever play with dog when the dog gets you the ball or frisbee, its you who should walk up to the dog when in order to play any game with the dog. Now in human terms this might sound rude but thats how it is. An alpha never follows someone. But others have to follow him. Never share the food from your plate or let him eat first before you eat. As alpha dog never share their meal nor eat after others. Its the alpha who eats the meal and then the others. Thats how we as a human can make a dog realise his place in the pack i.e family.
Coming back to the walk, once you master all this basic things. Always while on a walk never keep a dog on a loose leash. You will have no control over the walk and instead of you leading the walk as a leader the dog will lead you. Always keep a dog on a tight leash making sure that the slip on collar is close to the ear around the neck. Always make it a habit that your dog walks towards your left beside you or behind you. Never let your dog lead you as its the pack who follows the Alpha dog and not the Alpha dog. Never talk to dog while on a walk. Keep the leash loose if you know the place is safe or the dog is about to pee or poop making sure you clean it once the dog is done. If you see any other dog in front of you, don't stop till the other dog passes you. As already your dog has set his eyes on him and will tend to pounce or drag you towards him. As a fight or a conflict it starts when two dogs stare at each other. Avoid your dog to maintain any kind of eye contact with other dog, simply by changing the direction you are walking in. Never ever walk a dog at a very slow speed the dog will then have a lot of distraction to bother him. Walk him fast and quick so that the dog is focused on walk instead of paying attention else where. Follow this basic things daily and if you can also train your dog to heel at the same time "Congrats" you have already mastered the walk with your best friend.
