Jumping
Pulling on the leash
The dog that does not walk properly on a leash requires a bit of training.
When the dog is about to apply any tension to the leash, immediately stop in your tracks and be firm.
When the dog turns to see what has happened to you, praise him for noticing and simultaneously move him back into his heel position.
So long as the dog remains next to your leg, continue to praise him and give him rewards if necessary.
Right next to you should be the most fun place for him to be.
If he loses concentration and is about to put any tension on the leash again, stop without warning and repeat the sequence.
Jumping is a dog’s expression of happiness.
If you don’t mind your dog jumping, train your dog to jump only when it’s ok, via a signal that you give your dog. Otherwise, it will equate jumping as an always-ok action, which can be challenging when guests that don’t own a dog enter your home.
Correct the dog immediately when he is about to jump.
Praise him when all four paws are back on the ground.
