How do you encourage a dog to wear a leash?
I recently adopted a 2 year old Doberman who refuses to wear a leash. She will allow you to pet her but when you try to put the leash on her neck, she immediately jumps away. Her behavior is very good and she is a good mannered dog. But without being able to leash train her, I am also unable to take her for walks or train her to defecate on a leash. How can I train her to wear a leash? What method should I use to encourage her to allow me to put a leash around her neck?
This is a method for puppies, but age doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned.
Before you start: Be sure that you can retrieve your dog with a whistle or call.
First step: Associate the leash with something good. Leave the leash around the dog, such as places that the dog eats and sleeps. Put it in your lap when you pet her. Offer a treat in your palm while your leash is in the same palm. Soon, the dog will accept the leash as something everyday and positive.
Second Step: Coax your dog over to you. As you distract her with treats, clip the leash on. Let the dog drag it around under supervision. Soon, she will not mind it there.
Third Step: Pick up the leash and let your dog lead you in an enclosed area. After while, the dog will be okay with you holding the leash.
Fourth Step: In an enclosed area, begin to walk her. If she tugs, stop. If she stops tugging, good, and keep on walking, try to keep her at your heel. If she doesn't stop tugging, start backing up. Soon she'll learn that tugging gets her no where.
Fifth Step: Once your dog is under control, take her out into an uncontrolled area where even if your dog goes out of control, you can retrieve her, and if you can't retrieve her swiftly, there is no roads that she can go into. An ideal location is a field, but if all you can get is a non busy back street, walk her there. If you dog has problems with other dogs while on a leash, do this: If she begins to tug, pull back on her leash and call her name. Soon she realizes that making a fuss about distractions will also get her no where.
Note: Do not take your dog off leash unless you are extremely confident in being able to call back your dog, your dog is spayed, your dog is not aggressive and up to date on all shots.
Also, when first walking your dog, just explore your front yard. This is so that if your dog escapes on a walk, she learns that walks do not always mean going somewhere, and is less likely to run off during a walk, as well as more likely to go back to your yard. This includes escaping on non walks. Teaches the dog that going out does not always mean leaving.
For most owners, your pet is like a member of the family. Or in some cases, the pet allows you to be a member of their family (depending on who's really in charge). I have a sneaking suspicion that's how my 2 year old mutt perceives the world. After all I'm the one catering to her needs, filling her bowl every morning and evening, picking up after her, and dragging her bed from room to room of my apartment when she has nowhere comfortable to lie. (Perhaps 'slave' is a more apt word).
Either way, your pet is an integral part of your life. So it's only natural to want to bring them along when you pack your bags, lock your doors, and bid your home goodbye. I'm talking about vacation: that wonderful time when work is left in your rearview mirror and instead replaced with a gloriously open schedule stretching out ahead. And at your side, and probably slobbering on your shoulder, is your furry companion.
Your destination: Whistler, British Columbia, one of the top resort destinations in the world. Whether you're arriving in the summer or winter, a myriad of activities await: golfing, mountain biking, bungee jumping, dancing, drinking, snowboarding, the list goes on. And of course, you can't forget frequent walks with your pet around pedestrian-friendly Whistler Village and surrounding trails. Your pet will no doubt be the envy of their block buddies back home.
But wait...before loading up your bags, hitching your pet and heading up Whistler mountain, here are a few nuggets of wisdom that will prepare both you and your pet for the destination.
Find pet-friendly Whistler lodging.
When you book accommodation direct from the property owner you're more likely to find someone who is willing to accept a pet. Many property owners have pets themselves and will understand why you can't bare to be without Rufus by your side. Plus, when you're searching for owner-direct accommodation, you can compare detailed vacation rental photos. Unlike many hotels, you can see the actual rental you will stay in, before you instantly book it online.
On extended road trips, stop for some exercise.
Everyone needs the chance to stretch their legs once and a while (and perhaps a quick stop in a gas station's restroom). Give your pet the chance to uncurl and run loose for at least a half hour after particularly long stretches. A nice game of fetch or a jog around the rest stop are a few examples. But be careful about letting your pet run loose, as the unfamiliar environment may hide some nasty surprises (decaying chicken bones are found in the oddest of places).
Take your pet's familiar items with you.
When venturing into the unknown, there's little that's more comforting for a pet than being able to rest in their own bed or blanket. Your pet will feel safer and more at ease. As most owners will tell you, your pet will light up at the sight of their stuff. Taking along a few favorite toys will also give your pet something to play with while you're deciding your itinerary for the day.
Never leave a dog alone in your Whistler lodging for an extended period.
Even dogs that are well behaved and rarely chew or maim anything in your house, can behave differently when they're in a strange place. (There's nothing worse than coming home with shreds of furniture lying around). If you must leave you dog alone for a while, consider employing the services of a doggy daycare.
Keep the barking to a minimum.
Much like parents who can magically tune out their own child's ear shattering wail, dog owners exhibit the same phenomenon if they have a particularly talkative pet. Let other guests enjoy their vacation in peace and remember to tone down the barking. Also, it's a good idea to keep your pet on leash while entering & exiting your Whistler lodging and to avoid your pet tackling other guests. Even people who don't mind animals can become spooked if there's suddenly a slobbering tongue in their face.
Respect the pet policy.
If your Whistler lodging allows pets, they still may not take kindly to dirty paws on the furniture. Make sure you to read all the property policies before you make your reservation and avoid the hassle of trying to guess. It's important to sort this out before you book your stay - so you can simply find another property whose pet policy matches your own style.
Take responsibility for any damages caused by your pet.
Accidents happen even with the most well-behaved pet. If your pet has an unfortunate stomach upset and leaves "deposits" on the nice carpet of your Whistler lodging, or decides to shred some towels, it's a good idea to own up and work out a fair cleaning agreement. You'll be promoting responsible pet ownership and paving the way for others to allow pets in their properties.
Keep the leash handy.
Though Whistler is a dog-loving community, most parks and trails are on-leash only. Thankfully, dogs are not barred from the Village, and you can proudly have your pet by your side as you stroll through the cobble stoned boulevards. As well, there are several picturesque trails for dog walking. (Lost Lake is a great place to start in the summer).
Be prepared for emergencies.
It's a good idea to locate the Emergency Veterinary Clinics in Whistler before you get there, or early upon your arrival. That way, in the event of an accident or sickness, you'll know exactly where to take your pet for immediate care and attention.
So that's it! With these easy reminders, you're Whistler vacation will be a trip you won't soon forget.
