- Never chase
after your dog - Get your dog to chase you if you don't have control - Practice first indoors with no distractions - Use a food lure at dog's nose and
walk backwards to start the behavior - Practice «Find It» and «Hide and Seek» to train the recall - Practice calling «Come» for mealtimes and for
walks - Practice 10 times on each outdoor leash
walk (intersperse
walking backwards and calling your dog)- Gradually add distractions and different locations - Practice outside on a
long line — first with no distractions, then add distractions - Use high value food
rewards when practicing outside - Don't expect to get from kindergarten to graduate school quickly — this takes time!!
After some time, the dog will realize that not only when he is pulling he is no
longer being allowed to
walk ahead, but he also gets away from the «
reward zone.»
