I have a dog that didn't walk properly either. (He's a rescue...and a year old). He either wanted to go home, pulled toward the grass and thought it was potty time or ran all around me (even under my feet and he's 2 1/2 pounds only!). How I have always trained my puppies (and I've had a ton over my years...) is that I potty them BEFORE the walk and (since I have two dogs) I put them on a short leash, with my arms down and simply walk. If he start lagging behind I strengthen my leash and once he "falls in line" I release and loosen the leash, however it's always a short leash so I can keep him next to my left leg, (as my other dog is at my right leg). Pick a side, preferably on the side of the grass and keep walking. Stop letting her control the walk. You have to change your pattern with her and show her who's in charge. Terriers, I have come to learn, are strong willed (as my German Shepherd used to be...) and if I can control a 150 pound canine why am I babying this 2 1/2 pound dog? I found it only starts problems, so I am treating my boy as tho he were a HUGE shepherd and giving him serious house rules. I promise once you get on board with taking over and offering her NO CHOICES she has no power and she'll be happier too cus she'll know what's expected of her. Dogs have a pecking order...and you do NOT want your terrier in charge. They do better following your lead. | |
