Take the Mystery Out of Dog Leash Training and Other Dog Training Tools

By Henry Smoot

Everyone loves having a pet and specifically, a dog. The instant bond between owner and dog will last over the course of the dog's entire life.

So it can be difficult to reprimand your dog, to train them the right way so that future accidents don't take place. After all, dogs in many ways are a lot like children. All experts agree that a trained, well-behaved dog is a happy dog -- and happy dogs live longer, fuller lives.

One of the first lessons you'll teach your dog is how to behave on a leash. When they're puppies they fight the leash, even fear it. They don't like feeling retrained and led around by the neck or chest (if you're using a harness). But your dog will be on a leash at some point almost everyday during their lifetime, so it's essential that they learn proper leash "etiquette".

One simple tip most people do not know is teaching the dog to heel. They will have the dog walking at their side and will say "heel" and tug on the leash to bring the dog close to them. This, of course, does nothing but teach the dog that the word "heel" means its about to have its leash tugged in a manner they probably won't like. It's just one example of how easy it is to go wrong in your dog training methods.

Fortunately, there is a free website that offers many resources on dog training tools, dog housetraining, how to stop barking, how to stop dog jumping, and much more. It even offers a ranking on the best dog training programs on the internet that will help you train your dog successfully.
