Important tips for dog leash training

Tips for Dog Leash Training:

An untrained dog poses many risks: He could jump on strangers, get into fights or run into oncoming traffic. That's why dog leash training is so essential. Leash training should begin as soon as you get your dog, regardless of her age. In many areas, leashes are required by law. China PUGGA designed our own-patented retractable leash authorized by China CIPB, may helps you much on dog leash training, and comes with some useful suggestions on dog leash training.

Dogs love to go for walks, but they don't want to be pulled and tugged. Teaching your dog how to walk without pulling will help both of you to enjoy your time together.

Retractable leash. Much like a fishing pole, this leash lets your pet wander up to 20 feet ahead while still under your control. Pushing the button takes up the slack.

Start by attaching a light-weight leash to your puppy's collar.
Drop the leash and let the puppy drag it around.
Call your puppy, tell her "good girl", hug her,
and pet her...whatever feels good to both of you.
Leave the leash on for only a few minutes and
never leave it on her when you are not with her.
Do this several times over a few days and pretty soon
your pup won't even notice the leash.

Walking on a retractable leash:

It’s embarrassing to walk down the road being dragged along, but even worse it can be dangerous for your dog as they begin to choke, and even dangerous for yourself.

First, you need a 4 foot retractable leash and a collar that won't slip off.
Start by having your dog sit on your left side facing front just like you.
As you say "Let's go", take a step starting with your left foot. Using your left foot all of the time will signal your dog that you are about to walk.
Walk at your normal walking pace and talk to your dog while you walk. Tell her what a good girl she is. You want her to be happy walking with you. Keep talking to her. Make it fun.
Go a few feet, then stop. You can praise her now. Or you can have her sit and then praise her...as long as she stays with you.
Practice for 5-10 minutes several times a day. Keep it fun!

It's best to teach new things in quiet places
where your dog can concentrate on you.
If your dog still is not paying attention,
try getting her to focus using her favorite treat.

Steps of Dog Leash Training:

Begin by placing the collar and retractable leash on your dog while he eats, letting the leash hang loosely by his side. This allows your dog to associate the leash with something pleasant (food) and helps him get used to having a collar around his neck.

After two or three days, take the retractable leash in your hand and follow him around the house for a few minutes after he's eaten. Do this for longer and longer periods, until your dog is used to both the leash and having you walk beside him.

Next, go outside and let your dog drag the leash around, occasionally picking up the leash and following him. Offer a treat while showing the leash. While walking, hold the leash in your right hand and coax your dog along your left side by holding a treat in your left hand. As you walk, repeat the phrase, "Let's go!" Praise your dog when he does well.

If your dog starts to pull forward, do a clockwise turn and walk in another direction; the leash will pull his head to the side so he'll have to hurry to catch up with you. Repeat this exercise until your dog learns that if he wants to walk beside you and receive your praise, he'll have to stay by your side. If your dog is overly excited, tire him out a little with vigorous play before placing him on the leash. A slightly fatigued dog is more attentive.

Never yell at or strike your dog while training. Patience pays! Be patient. Dogs, like people, learn at different rates. Some dogs may take weeks and even months of patient training before they completely learn how to heel on command. Young dogs usually take well to wearing a collar and leash, though temperament and energy level can influence how quickly they learn.

Advices on using China pugga retractable leash

While enjoying the China pugga retractable dog training leash with the great freedom of your walking around, please keep in mind all the times that it is always your responsibility to keep your pet under control and remember our following recommendations.
1. Never try to open the plastic casing or disassemble any other parts, the spring inside may cause unexpected injuries.

2. The retractable dog training leash should not be used by children.

3. Do not use the retractable dog training leash for anything else than its intended purpose, it should only be used with the hand and it is not intended to be used as a stationary leash.

4. Never leave your dog unattended with the China pugga leash.

5. Never hold or grab the cord/tape and do not allow the cord/tape to become wrapped around parts of the body - you could get injured.

6. Examine your retractable leash before each use: The cord and tape must not be damaged or worn out; the collar has to be strong enough and should be in perfect condition. If collar or leash should happen to snap, then immediately stop the rapidly retracting cord/tape by applying the brake and turn your head away to avoid injuries.

7. It is strongly suggested to shorten the leash and control the dog at your side when other persons or animals approach. Be responsible and take care that nobody is hindered or endangered.

8. Consider in advance how your dog might react in unpredictable situations. For safety reasons keep your dog at your side before any possible dangerous situation emerges.
