The First Step to a Well-Behaved DogThe rst class in our good dog training is getting your dog to pay attention to you. Sounds fun,

right? But it has to be the right kind o attention, not the playul and loving kind. We save that

or great achievements, which will happen soon. In this class, you teach your dog to listen orcommunication using your voice, body language and leash. We do this by teaching them

to walk well at your side, ollowing your speed. Then they learn to change direction with you

eventually without hitting the end o the leash. This interaction has a larger importance. It

denes how your dog will interact with you and how much he or she listens and watches

you. Simply walking well with its owner builds mutual trust and bonding between you and the

pup. It becomes the solid oundation or the rest o the classes so I recommend ocusing a

lot o attention on this class.

In general, be careul to reward good behavior and correct (gently, see sidebar page xx)

or ignore bad behavior. While this may sound simple, people have a tendency to eel sorry

or nervous when a dog, especially new to them, doesnt respond, so they naturally try to

comort their pet. However, this is the moment to be strong and stay on message rather than

picking up and hugging your cutey, even though thats you want to do. Hold out or the big-

ger reward when the dog does what you want, and you both are excited and proud o it.

Note that diferent dogs learn at diferent speeds so much o

your success will come rom patience, repetition and staying

consistently on message. You will see this happening as each

class builds on the next one.

The First Heeling LessonWe start this lesson by repeating the proper leash hold.

Loop goes over your thumb. Double the leash back and hold the

loop so there is slack in the leash be-

tween you and the dog.

Dont hold the leash taut. It should have

a nice droopy curve to it.

Here is the natural starting position with

your proper leash hold. If your dog wont

sit by your side, you should stand there

for a bit and let the dog wander aroundon the leash. If you ignore him and dont

move, after a while he will sit naturally.

Try a light upward tug on the leash to

bring his head up which naturally brings

his behind down. If he doesnt sit in ve

minutes, move to a place with fewer

distractions, and he should take a seat.

When he nally sits, you can move to

his side (him on the left) to start.

Make sure the dog is on your left, and

you consistently keep the dog on your

left for all your walking. (You can keep

your dog on your right. Just exchange

all the lefts in the instructions torights. Be consistent whatever side you

pick so the dog gets used to where he

needs to look.)

Now pat your thigh so it makes a good

noise and start walking left foot rst (the

one nearest him). He will follow the foot

and associate the sound with starting to

walk.

Always start walking with the

foot nearest the dog. For most

people this will be the left foot.This gives your dog a visual

clue about what he is sup-

posed to do. It is good to take

a strong, condent rst step

and assume in your head that

the dog will be following you.A nice long rst step gives the

dog a solid lead to follow.

Soon, usually in a matter o xx days/tries, your dog will be walking by your side well. Occa-

sionally he or she will orget the drill. Be rm but understanding. Try careully to never reward

the dog i he or she makes a mistake. Success in this lesson will make walking your dog pure

joy everyday or both parties.
