Walking Your Dog To The Right

When your dog reaches the stage where he is beginning to take note of things while you are walking, you should move your left hand of the leash. This should best be done as soon as possible. By doing this, you will stop the dog from being hold in position all the time. You should be aware of the fact that a tight leash will encourage your dog to pull all the time.

If the leash is hold in your right hand only, you should put your thumb through the circle and tighten any surplus slack. A “U” shape should be formed by the lead that is hanging down between your dog and you – but not so much that you can trip over it. While your dog is sitting along your left side and his head as high as your knee you should then command “let’s go” and start to walk forward with your right foot first. Make sure that you praise your dog enough if he stays alongside you.

It is important that you turn 180 degrees to your right and continue to walk forward if your dog starts to pull in the wrong direction. As soon as the leash becomes tight you should put your left hand on it and move it forward and then downward and then again release the leash. It is important that you should not drag or pull your dog in such an instance. Also make sure that you keep on admiring your dog if they stay in the correct position. The right about turn is ideal to use whenever your dog starts pulling you ahead or move in front of you.
