Top 2 Dog Training Orders To Stop Dog Pulling

When we first get our new puppy or a dog from rescue, we sometimes wish to know what type of coaching, if any, the dog knows. Sit is about the first thing a dog learns so many dogs know this one, even puppies. But as we move thru life with our dogs it is terribly helpful for humans to be in a position to direct the dogs from one place to another.

Having a dog pulling on lead is a bad habit that desires correcting right away. This behavior makes for annoyed owners and possibly hurts the dog’s neck. There is a way to change this behavior.

It sure would be convenient if our dogs could change direction or wait for a few minutes while we made our way to the automobile, round the block or maybe in the house? Having a dog dart across a busy street is scary and perilous. That is something that happens too regularly and can be curtailed.

My dog trainer, John Spieser, asserts that the first 2 commands he teaches a dog or a puppy are “wait” and “this way”. Using these two commands he can get a dog to go just about anywhere he needs them to and keep him safe along the way. This is also used to get a dog to stop pulling on the leash.

The command “wait” is easy to teach your dog. For some reason, wait, feels short lived to a dog so he is more prepared to wait than to “stay” somewhere for a while. “Wait” is good for street corners. Tell your dog to “wait” at the corner whilst traffic passes. Or perhaps your dog desires to stay calm whilst another dog, children, bikes or whatever passes by. Perhaps you need him to wait for his food. Irrespective of the reason, the dog learns that it is only a non permanent situation, shortly to be followed by the release (which is rewarding) and possibly more positively stimulating for the dog.

The “this way” command beats come. The recall or “come” command tends to get over used and dogs may get resentful after hearing it regularly. Using “this way” permits the dog to keep moving but in a different direction. If your dog is running away from you and does not come back to the typical recall command of “come”, then try implementing “this way” into your training routine. A dog hears this as a chance to please and still keeps moving. It’s much less restrictive to the dog and it is truly simple to teach this to a dog.

For better communication with your dog, try dog training commands that teach your dog how to move with you without being too restrictive. Consider making “wait” and “this way” a primary part of your repertoire.

These two commands are successfully employed in changing the leash pulling behavior too. The two dog behavior training commands that make the most sense are ones that give you a lot of flexibility with your dog.

Get your dog or puppy moving where you would like him using these two dog training commands. Stop your dog pulling on leash. Listen in the free audio from my dog trainer John Spieser.
