Tips for Teaching Your Pup to Walk Nicely on a Leash

Introduction

Walking your dog can be a fun and enjoyable experience, but it can also be frustrating if your furry friend doesn't know how to walk nicely on a leash. Here are some tips to help you train your dog to walk like a pro!

Start Slow

When you first start training your dog to walk on a leash, it's important to take things slow. Start by getting your dog used to wearing a collar and leash around the house before venturing outside.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice walking your dog in a quiet, distraction-free area to help them get used to the feeling of being on a leash. Use treats and positive reinforcement to reward good behavior.

Stay Consistent

Consistency is key when training your dog to walk on a leash. Make sure to use the same commands and rewards each time you go for a walk to help reinforce good behavior.

Be Patient

Remember, training takes time and patience. Don't get frustrated if your dog doesn't catch on right away. Keep practicing and rewarding good behavior to help them learn.

Seek Professional Help

If you're having trouble training your dog to walk on a leash, don't be afraid to seek help from a professional dog trainer. They can provide guidance and support to help you and your pup succeed.

Conclusion

With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, you can train your dog to walk nicely on a leash. Remember to take things slow, stay consistent, and seek help if needed. Happy walking!

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats Today, I am super excited to share my techniques for making another truly wholesome dog treat with you. After-all, your furry companions deserve healthy food, so that they can be their best selves. These pup treats are the perfect snack to make ahead of time for your cuddly pooch as a reward for their love and companionship, obedience, potty-training, or for any other training in general.  My fur baby seems to think that the treats taste better when they're made in different cute shapes. So, I use three different cookie cutters when I make these dog treats. Plus, using different cookie cutter sizes also allows me to make good use of the leftover dough pieces. The three shapes that I am using for this recipe are a gingerbread man, a star, and a flower-shaped cookie cutter. (I use regular cookie cutters to make mine.) If you don't have any cookie cutters, that's okay too. After rolling out the dough, cut it into squared-shaped pieces, or use a...

DIY pet bed

DIY pet bed Do you have a fur baby that sometimes has to sleep in a kennel, during times when you're away from home? This is a simple, no-sew DIY kennel bed project that anyone can accomplish.  I timed myself when making my pooch this DIY kennel bed. It actually took me about forty-two minutes from start to finish. My almost eight-year-old boxer has to be placed in her dog's kennel during thunderstorms, or else she simply goes loco. We purchased two different kennel mats for her, but for some unknown reason, she doesn't like either of them. Instead of her using them to lay on, she wads them up, and literally kicks them to the corner of her kennel. Since Princess (my dog) isn't getting any younger, she really doesn't need to be lying on the hard floor of the kennel. So, I came up with this DIY kennel bed idea for her. The length and width of my dog's kennel is 54 inches x 37 inches. So, I cut out two pieces of soft material that size, then I cut strips along the ...
