In this video I demo how you can reinforce heelwork by letting the dog tug on the leash (or if you choose not to use the leash- a tug toy). When you make the learning process a fun error-less learning process the dogs start to enjoy behaviors that could otherwise be very dull like heelwork. One of Splash’s favorite rewards is a good tug on the leash. But be warned, you first have to teach your dog to let go of the leash and grab the leash when you ask if you want to use it as a reward. Stay tuned and Subscribe to learn more about how to train your dog with error-less learning.

This is my dog training tip of the day. How to build calmness in your dog using their meal.

If you think in the terms that you are training your dog 100% of the time, every reinforcement you give your dog or the environment gives your dog, is building some behavior or emotional state. What behavior and emotional state are you building every time you put your dogs food bowl down. Are you building calmness or are you building arousal?

You have to feed your dog every day, you might as well capture the behaviors you like and use that meal to its fullest to create a happy calm and well adjusted companion.

Teaching your dog to settle-

My puppy is 12 weeks old.

I am going to review some training books, but I have to train him to walk on a leash, due to where I live.

Sometimes, he does just fine but mostly, he sniffs the ground and tries to eat mushrooms constantly, or he jerks the leash and goes nuts as if he has rabies and runs in circles on the leash.

Or else, he attacks my feet and legs, biting me until he breaks the skin.

What can I do to teach him better?

Wait. You should just be practicing the leash at this age. I don’t clip a leash on the collar until 3-months-old and they get better on the walk between 4 and 5-months-old. It is only 5 minutes for each month of age with the walk, so a three-month-old puppy gets a 15 minute walk. Too much walking is bad for legs and joints. When my puppies are first little, I practice with the leash. In the house, I drape the leash on them and try to call them to me. Outside, I practice in my fenced back yard for about a month before the puppy graduates to the street. I might drape the leash on the puppy and get him to follow me, or drag the leash on the ground and see if he will follow me and try to catch the leash. There are many things in my back yard that scare a puppy, so it is so much easier to address, or correct issues when I am in my back yard and not in the street. We just walk laps in the yard and deal with drama as it comes up. Maybe around 3-months-old I might try to clip the leash to the collar, but if there is too much protesting, I drop the leash. They just get better with the leash around 4 to 5-months-old. So anyway, I use the commands "go" when I want to "go" and if the puppy tugs on the leash, I stop and say "wait". It is my walk and we go as fast as I can walk and no faster. If I want to "wait" and look at a flower, change the batteries in my walkman, count to ten, then I do it, it is my walk. When I am ready I say "go" and we "go" again. When the puppy pulls on the leash, I stop and say "wait" and we stop again, even if we just went two steps. I praise the puppy when he is doing good and talk soothing to him and encourage him when he is doing good, so he keeps doing it. It takes several laps of "go" and "wait" until he settles down, and when the walk is over, I make a big fuss and clap and then they get some play time. They don’t like the walk at first, but they like the fuss at the end. I have to address "go" and "wait" again the next day, but it won’t take me as long to get him to understand what I want from him. I also house sat a dog, and the owner thought he had leash issues, and that dog just didn’t like being in front. He walked just fine with my dogs as long as he could be part of the group, but he didn’t want to be in the front. If you have a family member, or a neighbor that has a dog that walks well, see if you can practice with them. I also had one dog that didn’t like the maroon leash, or the pink one, but did just fine with the blue leash. Sometimes puppies are just puppies.
