You go and you need a lots of strict Control So at first your tendency might be to Administer corrections to the leash by Jerking it when they’re doing something You don’t like But Alicia’s best use simply limit where Your dog can and can’t go right now I Don’t want pancake running all over the House so I’ve got them on the leash the Leash is not the teacher you are and a Leash is just a safety net not a way to Correct your dog and attach a leash like This to you you can tie it to you or use A carabiner but you’ll want to do this During the beginning stages of training So that you can prevent bad habits from Getting started and you’re in a better Position to acknowledge good habits that You like and be sure to get one of these Really long leads – this one’s 20 feet long long leads Give your dog more freedom while still Keeping them under strict control it’ll Come in really handy once you’re ready To start working on other types of Training and see that long lead really Prevents your dog from getting away from You when you’re teaching them how to Come to you or when you’re playing fetch With them an indispensable dog training Tool now I like to call things like Treats and other things you use to Reward your dog with currency when you
Start teaching your dog something new You want communication to be as easy as Possible and treats really allow you to Get your dog on the same page and Willingly comply with you you use treats In the beginning to bridge that Communication gap between you and your Dog that’s during the communication Building phase now you’re not gonna need To use treats forever but they do help Give you traction and get you started Off on the right direction Now I recommend two main types of food Treats for primary training sessions you Know the type of training when you’re Really focused on your dog teaching them Something new you should use something Like real meat something like chicken This is like a dollar bill to your dog When you are using meat during those Primary training sessions they need to Be really really tiny about the size of A grain of rice your dog will work for It watch lie down Good but for secondary training sessions You know the unplanned kind where your Dog starts chewing on a shoe or starts Barking at something outside be sure to Have easily accessible soft treats like This in containers all over the house so That you can get to them quickly during The first year of training make sure You’ve got treats with you everywhere You go so that you’re always prepared
