Basic advice, leash training



Hi, working with Cash (dog) here.

Has anyone got a decent lead for a web site with leash training? Cash pulls
quite strongly though less so if I shorten the leash. I dont expect a
perfect heel (nor feel a need for it) but he wants to walk faster than I can
comfortably and pulls.

And no, before any ask, I do not want a choke collar or anything with those
nubs inside that hurt if they pull too much. Just basic advice on how to do
this and some leads on places to check.

Best I have seen so far is:
Every time your dog pulls on leash and you continue the walk, you are
rewarding her for pulling and lunging. Every time your dog gets out of
control it is essential that you instantly stop the walk, stand still and
wait for her to calm down before continuing. It is a tremendous effort in
patience at first but it will pay off if you persevere. You may only get to
the end of the block or even your driveway on your first outing, but if you
give in to your dog's demands, then she will continue to pull. You can speed
up the process by asking her to sit- stay for about 5 to 10 seconds every
time she begins to pull. Of course this will only work if your dog already
has a reliable sit-stay.
