Until the puppy has learned to accept the collar and leash, it will be impossible to perform any additional training. The first step toward getting the puppy to accept the collar and leash is to find a collar that fits the dog properly. It is important that the collar be neither too light or too heavy, neither too thin nor too thick. A collar that is too light for the dog can be easily broken, while a collar that is too heavy may be uncomfortable for the puppy to wear. It is also important that the width of the color be appropriate for the size of the dog.

Dog Training

Teaching a dog to accept his collar and leash

<img src="http://assets.libsyn.com/assets/0/8/c/0/08c06436ecb1bc75/dog_4.jpg" alt="dog training" /> On this episode of dog training, using a head collar has become an increasingly popular dog training tool in the past couple of years. Two of the most well known brands of head collar on the market are the Gentle Leader and the Halti, but there are many other brands that incorporate the basic head collar concept. Many people find the Gentle Leader easier to fit that the Halti, and in addition the Gentle Leader is designed to fasten around the dog’s neck. The advantage of this design is that even if the dog is somehow able to wriggle out of the muzzle, it is still wearing a collar. This safety feature is very important, especially during training outside or in novel situations. On the other hand, the Halti offers better control of the dog, and for this reason it is often favored when working with very aggressive dogs. Training a dog with a head collar has a number of advantages over training with a traditional or training collar. For one thing, head collars are often easier to use for beginning dog trainers than are training collars. Head collars are also quite effective at preventing dogs from pulling, or controlling and retraining dogs that tend to pull...

Dog Training With a Head Collar

In some ways training a puppy is easier than training an adult or adolescent dog.  One reason is that the puppy is essentially a “blank slate”, untroubled by past training techniques and other issues.  In other ways, however, the puppy can be more difficult to train than an older dog. One challenge to training a new puppy is that puppies are more easily distractible than adolescent and adult dogs.  Everything is new to a puppy, and every new experience provides a new chance for distraction.  For this reason, it is best to keep training sessions short when working with a puppy, and to end each training sessions on a positive note......   Visit the dog training page on septic radio for more <a href="http://septicradio.com/dogtraining.php">dog training</a> pod-casts <a href="http://septicradio.com/dogtraining.php"> http://septicradio.com/dogtraining.php</a> where you can downloadThe official companion to Septic Radio Dog Training: The Dog Obedience Manual for free.

Unfortunately, this behavior is also one that is sometimes encouraged by well meaning owners. Playing games like tug of war with the leash, or even with a rope (that can look like the leash to the dog) can unwittingly encourage a problem behavior. The use of a quality body harness can be a big help when training a puppy not to pull, or retraining a dog that has picked up the habit of pulling on the leash.

Dog and Puppy Socialization

<img src="http://assets.libsyn.com/assets/0/8/c/0/08c06436ecb1bc75/dog_4.jpg" alt="dog training" /> During the time that the puppy is confined in its little den, it will begin to develop the habit of eliminating on paper. After a little time has passed, the puppy will begin to exhibit a preferred place to eliminate. After this preferred spot has been established, the area that is papered should be slowly diminished. The first papers to be removed should be those that are furthest away from the "toilet". Eventually, the owner will have to lay down only a few papers. If the puppy ever misses those papers, it means that the papered area has been reduced too much and too soon.
