Pet Clothes

One of the most important things we can teach our dogs is how to walk on dog leashes. You want to establish authority over your dog and let him know who is in charge otherwise they will be in charge from the start. It is also a good way to bond with him and allow him to see sights outside of your backyard, not to mention the exercise you and your dog will get.

The best time for a dog to learn this is when he is still a puppy. However, it is never too late. Place a snug (but not too tight) collar on your puppy.  There are many comfortable dog collars you can find for your dog or maybe a harness would be best.  After you put on the collar add the leash. He will be a little “crazy” if you just hold on to the leash but if you let him walk around dragging the leash it will be easier on him.  Play with him and pet him while he is wearing the leash.

Take your time, be patient with him, and stay calm. If you yell at him or drag him down the street because he won’t do what you want he will never please you and that is all your dog wants to do.
