If you’ve ever walked a dog who constantly pulls on the leash and seems more interested in anything else but you, then you know how frustrating it can be. But have no fear! With a little patience and some training, you can have your furry friend staying by your side in no time. Here’s how:
Getting Started:
First, you’ll need to get your dog used to being by your side. Start by walking with her on a leash, and rewarding her when she stays close to you. You can also use a clicker to mark the behavior you want.
Practice Makes Perfect:
Next, you’ll need to practice this in different situations, like when you’re walking around the block or going for a hike. Make sure to keep the rewards coming, so she knows that she’s doing what you want.
Eventually:
Eventually, your dog should be able to stay by your side even when there are distractions around. Just keep up the good work and be patient, and you’ll have a faithful companion who always wants to be by your side.
