Ive got one dog that has a REAL good handle on her. She is very well behaved on the leash. My other dogs arent horrible and they do okay. I have just picked up a pup though and i want to start early and get the best handle on him that i can. I'd rather a dog run trash across the county than drag me through the woods. I tend to get so i'll i cant enjoy myself with a tight leash all day long. For those of you that have personally leashed trained a good handling dog i'd sure like to hear some of what worked for you. Thanks in advance !! Shane.

for a grown dog that pulls, foot to a$$ till it learns not to pull. now for a pup, choke up on the leash till the pup is at the side of your leg or slightly in front or where ever you want the dog to be. give it a lil slack, and as you put tension, pulling it back to where u want it to be, give it a command, such as heel, or whatever you deem your command should be. repeat, repeat, repeat and repeat till the dog is staying where u want it with slack on the leash, then use something with less weight, like trotline string, where the dog can't feel it, and if it decides to pull ahead, hastily snap tension on the string and give it its already learned command and continue to repeat till you don't need a leash if you so choose not to use a leash. the foot to a$$ worked well on a 2.5yr old pit i had, who would pull and make so much dang racket breathing heavily that you couldn't hear a dog bark 20ft away. bout a week of rear end stimulation, he got to where the lead would stay loose till he heard the dogs bark, but a quick yank back and told him to heel, and he was right back where he should be till we got where i wanted to cut him loose.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

if you can put him on a chain for a couple of days...next I use a piece of chain with a dog snap and snap it to his collar and let him run around the yard 30 minutes a day for a couple of days until he is used to it...a choke chain works well as a leash...in those days he is chained or dragging the leash give a treat here and there...his focus will be on the treats and not on the leash or chain...when the pups is not worrying about the leash pick it up and show him the treat and he will follow you around...no pressure and no negativity...pretty simple...
for not tugging...take him for a walk and he will try to drag you around...after a little while refuse to move forward if there is tension on the leash...after a little while he will know if he wants to go for that walk he will have to be calm and no tugging...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

I have shoulder problems so I can't stand a dog jerking on my arm. I use a 1/4" nylon rope about six ft. long with a Honda tied in the end like a roping rope put this around there neck just behind the ears and when they try to pull you give the rope a jerk . This is a sensitive area and they will respond to your demands quickly. Each dog is different but with daily training sessions they soon learn not to pull . HUNT"um UP !!

My old female handles real good, So what I've always done if a young pup or dog continues to pull hard I couple them to her and lead them around together. She wont put put up with it and will go even slower if they start try to pull away. This tends to help the other one learn to slow down a little and not to jerk your arm off. I'll do this for a couple nights or just around the house. Sure helps me.
Good luck
