Press Release Body = Pulling on the leash is one of the most common misbehaviors
seen on all kinds of dogs. Puppies and adult dogs alike can often be seen taking
their owners for walks, instead of the other way around. Pulling on the leash can
be much more than an annoying habit. Leash pulling can lead to escape in the case
of a break in the collar or leash, and an out of control, off leash dog can be both
destructive and dangerous to itself and to others.



Leash pulling can result from a variety of different things. In some cases, the dog
may simply be so excited to go for a walk that he or she is unable to control
themselves. In other cases, the dog sees itself as the leader of the pack, and he
or she simply takes the "leadership position" at the front of the pack.



If excitement is the motivation for leash pulling, simply giving the dog a few
minutes to calm down can often be a big help. Simply stand with the dog on the
leash for a couple minutes and let the initial excitement of the upcoming walk pass.
After the initial excitement ahs worn off, many dogs are willing to walk calmly on
their leash.



If the problem is one of control, however, some retraining may be in order. All dog
training starts with the owner establishing him or herself as the alpha dog, or pack
leader, and without this basic respect and understanding, no effective training can
occur. For dogs exhibiting these type of control issues, a step back to basic
obedience commands is in order.



These dogs can often be helped through a formal obedience school structure. The dog
trainer will of course be sure to train the handler as well as the dog, and any good
dog trainer will insist on working with the dog owner as well as the dog.
