What it is
Every time that you apply any pressure on your leash, reward your dog. This could be a new sensation for your pup and it is important that they have a good relationship with the leash.
How we teach it
- Introducing Equipment Calmly: Let your dog sniff and explore the slip leash and collar.
- Progressive Training Approach: Start with basic commands, gradually adding distractions to the training.
- Teaching "Heel" for Calm Walking: Incorporate the "heel" command for calm and controlled walks.
- Consistent Commands in Diverse Environments: Stay calm and consistent while practicing commands in various settings.
Practice at home
- Consistent Commands in Diverse Environments: Stay calm and consistent while practicing commands in various settings.
- Take Photos or Videos: Capturing your progress back at home or outside will help us provide additional feedback.
Go deeper
A slip leash and collar combination is a type of dog training equipment that offers several advantages over traditional leashes and collars. This equipment works by tightening around the dog's neck when they pull, loosening when tension on the leash is released, providing a gentle correction and encouraging them to walk calmly alongside you.
