Avoiding mistakes is paramount in dog training, but what should you do if your dog displays undesirable behaviour? In this blog, we will introduce you to various methods for fair correction in leash training, such as the traffic light system, "Stop & Go", conditioned categorisation and splitting. You will learn how to give your dog clear signals without stress or pain and how to guide him towards better behaviour.
Foot training is an important skill that helps your dog to focus on you and walk close to you. Especially in everyday life, the "foot" is helpful to better control your dog in difficult situations and to direct his attention to you. In this blog, you will find out why "heel" walking is challenging for dogs and how you can develop it for everyday use.
Radio training helps you to teach your dog to move around you within a defined radius - whether you are walking free or on a Long Leash. This training strengthens your dog's orientation towards you and ensures that it remains responsive even at greater distances. Radio training is a particularly valuable method for dogs with a strong hunting instinct or from foreign animal shelters to make running free safer.
The reverse signal is an effective technique for mastering dog encounters or other stressful situations in a relaxed manner. By teaching your dog to change direction at your signal, you protect him from unpleasant encounters and at the same time strengthen his ability to walk on the lead. Learn how to build up the reversing signal step by step and use it successfully.
In week 5 of leash training, you will learn how to improve your dog's orientation towards you through clear rituals and signals. With the "Discoverer" game and the "Next" signal, you will teach your dog to stay with you attentively and interrupt unwanted behaviour. Find out how you can integrate these important rituals into your everyday life.
Rituals that provide structure are essential for your dog's behaviour on the lead. With clear signals and distinctions between Collar, Harness and Leash, your dog will learn when freedom or discipline is required. These rituals facilitate communication between you and your dog and help him to better understand expectations. Learn how to guide your dog through everyday life with small routines.
The loose Leash is essential training that every dog person should master. Many dogs have learnt that pulling on the Leash gets them to their destination faster, which causes stressful walks in the long run. In this blog, you'll learn how to teach your dog that a loose Leash is the better way through positive reinforcement and proper communication.
