Dog Lead

Dog Lead - Stop Your Dog Pulling on the Lead

A dog will pull on a lead for many different reasons, and it is one of the most common problems that dog owners face on a daily basis. The dog may be desperate to get on its walk, or it may be trying to assert itself as the dominant force in the family.

Whatever the reason, it is important to train your dog not to pull rather than just starting a tug of war every time it does. In this article I will be going through how to train your dog to stop pulling.

First of all, never try to show your dominance over the dog with force. Some dog owners think that if they pull back twice as hard, the dog will know not to pull. However this rarely works, and should be avoided at all costs.

When your dog starts to pull, stop walking, reach down to the lead near the dogs neck and gently pull back until it is in the position you have taught it to heel. Don't struggle, but do it gently and once. Once your dog has stopped, get it to sit, then wait until there is no tension in the lead.

Once that is the case start walking again. Doing this repeatedly will give the dog the message that it isn't getting anywhere pulling. It will also show the dog that you are in charge of the walk.

It is important to never get angry or physically violent with the dog, as this will only hinder training. Treats can also be used to speed up the learning process.

Dog Carriers

Dog Carriers - More Than Just A Fashion Accessory!

You will find a wide variety of dog carriers on the market. These carriers will range in style, construction and size.

You will notice some relatively fashionable over the shoulder carriers but not everyone can physically lug around a twelve to fifteen pound dog over their shoulder!

Dogs over fifteen pounds may be more manageable to carry with the suitcase style crates.

Avoid buying crates that are too large for your dog. Carriers should be just roomy enough for your dog to snuggle and stretch with comfort.

They should be a warm, cozy, friendly safe place for your dog. The interior comforts should include a warm soft fleece blanket and your dog's favorite chew toy.

Faux leather and designer fabrics are alternative styles of dog carriers that are sometimes just as expensive as their real leather counterparts. Your dog's safety is always important and sometimes an overly excited dog will be tempted to jump out.

Specifically look for dog carriers with safety clips that attach to your dog's collar to keep them secure inside the carrier.
