 Walking
I am trying to figure out how to train my yorkie to walk on a leash properly. It's driving me crazy! I have watched tons of cezar milans shows and used those techniques to easily train my husbands dog who used to just drag me, but she's bigger and could use the choke collar.
Baxter just runs full force on his leash though. He literally runs on his back legs because he is pulling so hard. I have used his regular collar and a harness to keep from hurting his neck. I used the calm method that cezar always shows where you have to get them in a calm state before walking, and if they get excited again wait for them to calm down again. But Baxter is nuts. He sits and looks at me, I take one step and he lunges full force. So, I stop and he patiently sits there looking at me, one step, and he lunges. I can not figure it out. I try pulling him to the side because they say that distracts them, but he just runs sideways. I've tried to hold him at my side with little slack, nothing seems to work. I know we look so silly trying to go for a walk. |
