What should you do when your dog is on a leash and a loose dog approaches and your dog attacks the other dog badly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your dog starts the attack, pull your dog away with the leash and get out of there! If your dog gets injured somewhere, clean the wound so it doesn't get infected. If the stray dog gets injured, DO NOT TOUCH IT. Instead, get an adult or call animal control.

How do you make a dog collar?

Training your puppy to wear a collar is a simple process that can be done in a few steps:

Start with a comfortable collar: Choose a collar that is soft, lightweight and fits comfortably around your puppy's neck. It's best to avoid collars that are too tight or too loose, as these can cause discomfort and make it difficult for your puppy to adjust to wearing one.

Introduce the collar gradually: Place the collar near your puppy and let him sniff and explore it. Offer treats and praise to help associate the collar with positive things. Once your puppy is comfortable with the collar nearby, place it around his neck and let him wear it for short periods of time, gradually increasing the length of time as he gets used to it.

Reward good behavior: When your puppy is wearing the collar, offer treats, praise, and affection to reinforce good behavior. You can also play with your puppy or engage in other activities that he enjoys to make the experience even more positive.

Practice wearing the collar in different environments: Once your puppy is comfortable wearing the collar, start taking him for short walks, or wearing the collar while he's playing in the yard. This will help him get used to wearing the collar in a variety of environments and situations.

Be patient: Some puppies may take a few days or even a week or two to become comfortable wearing a collar, while others may adjust more quickly. Be patient and go at your puppy's pace. If your puppy shows any signs of discomfort, remove the collar and give him a break, then try again later.

Remember, positive reinforcement and patience are key when training your puppy to wear a collar. With time and persistence, your puppy will eventually become comfortable and enjoy wearing his collar.

What is the best training collar for a large dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am a part time dog trainer and i have three large dogs of my own and i can confidently say i can walk all three of them at once without them pulling! So please try this method before investing in collars and harnesses! Although a harness can sometimes make a large dog feel like it has a job to do therefore they tend to 'plod' more. (All three of my dogs are walked on harnesses). If you are having trouble with a pulling dog try training it.... When i start to train a dog i always say a short walk without pulling is far better than a long walk pulling! What you do is you start walking with your dog, if it pulls forward you stop, wait for the dog to come back to you (even if this takes a while it is worth it) when the lead becomes slack start to walk again *if the dog does not come back towards you then walk back so the dog will automatically turn around to follow you causing a slack lead therefore you walk forward again. Repeat until your dog has pawfect heelwork! Patience is the key to succeeding in this training! ----

How do you teach an old dog how to walk on a leash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Go on a normal walk, just like you would any other day. Walk at a slow pace. If you run, or even jog, you are encouraging the dog to pull.

Whenever the dog starts to pull, immediately stop. Hold the leash firmly, but do not try and pull the dog back to you.

When your dog turns his head to look at you, give a hearty "GOOD DOGGIE!" then move forward and keep on walking. About every three or four times this happens, give the dog a treat. This is called yielding to the leash.

Do not try to take long walks with this method. Your dog will soon tire or get bored from this training.

WARNING: Be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes before your dog gives in and turns to look at you. I once had a 20 minute standoff before Dewey finally gave in!

Do dogs have to wear a collar showing owners name and address in public places?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is the law in most States in the US and highly recommended, as it means if your dog gets lost, he/she is more likely to be returned to you. It also the law in some countries that rabies tags have to be attached to a dog collar. Some dog harnesses have front rings for ID tags, as an alternative to a dog collar. Laws do not insist on a dog collar specifically, so a dog harness would be fine.

Where can one find the best deals on a retractable dog leash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cheapest dog leashes can usually be bought at a local big box store, such as Walmart or Target. However, if one were looking to purchase a large number of leashes in bulk, the internet might prove useful. If only one or two are needed, it wouldn't be cost-effective to have to pay any shipping or handling.

How can i train my dog to not run and pull on the leash when i am on a walk and she sees a rabbit or a squirrel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First of all you have to always have some treats with you while you walk her. when she sees a squirrel, distract her by calling her name or making a sound so she can come to you. If she gets distracted, then say "good girl" and give her the treat. Another way is to turn around and the other way and call her name and run. Hope that this works for you!

You have to train your dog to be obedient. If you say 'sit' when she starts pulling and she doesn't sit, it is quite simple that she has not yet learned to be obedient. Your dog should be able to sit and stay while you walk away and not come to you until you give the signal. It is all about your dog watching your body language - your dog watches you first and then hears you. Dog Training DVDs could be a usefultool for you to train your dog.

How do you train a dog to a leash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  • If you don't own another dog, then find a friend to go for a walk with you that has a dog on a leash. Once your dog sees that the leash does them no harm by looking at the other dog it's easy. Just go for a walk on leash a few time with your friend and then take the dog somewhere quiet (like a park with no other distractions and practice.) They should walk on your left side and you hold the leash up and tight in your hand. Never shout or bark orders at your dog, (have some treats in your pocket) and when you are out stand still, use the leash to tighten on the dog and control him/her and say sit. If the dog doesn't, then gently tighten and pull back the leash and take your hand and push them down by their butt. Praise the dog and give them a treat. After a couple of times of this they'll do it on their own. The dog should always walk on the left side of you. You can train them to do this by holding the leash short (wrap it around your wrist until you have control). Teach your dog to heel (on the left side of you on leash or not), stop, back and sit. Dogs love praise so when they listen to you give them plenty of it and don't forget those treats. When I train my dogs (just trained a little 6 month old cockapoo) they aim to please as all dogs do. A well trained dog is a pleasure to have around. If your dog is small then use a harness and not a leash attached to a collar. This is good protection for your little pet should the danger arise where you have to get your dog up off the ground quickly. If you have a large dog then use the leash only. If you go to any pet store they should have DVDs on training your dog. Remember, take a short time at the beginning to train or the dog will become tired and disinterested and after every lesson, so have some fun with your dog and let them play and romp. This way they know if they listen well to you then it's "fun time!"
  • All I did was use the leash at least three times a week and over a course of about five weeks he wanted me to take him for a walk. He just needs to get used to it.
