Barks & Bites - September 2023

Published almost 2 years ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

I hope that you had an amazing summer! We enjoyed some fun day-trips, with one of the most memorable being a visit to the Alpha Lake dog park near Whistler, BC. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend a visit. There is even a dock just for the dogs!

Leash Walking

Loose leash walking is a top training concern for many of us!

Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are key when teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash. Every dog is unique, so try a few different strategies and use a variety of high-value treats.

Equipment: Invest in a no-pull harness (front clip) rather than a traditional collar.
Environment: Begin training in a quiet, familiar environment to minimize distractions.
High-Value Treats: Reward your dog with tasty treats when they walk nicely beside you.
Patience: Be patient with your dog. Learning takes time, and some dogs may need more time than others.
Pulling: If your dog starts pulling on the leash, stop walking and wait until they return to your side before resuming.
Change Directions: If your dog starts pulling, change direction abruptly. This helps regain their attention and teaches them to pay attention to you more during walks.
Stay Calm and Relaxed: Dogs are sensitive to our emotions. Stay calm and relaxed during walks, as tension can transfer down the leash and create stress.
