Golden Retriever Training Advice For Pulling-Free Dog Walks

 

Here are five golden retriever training tips you might want to try out to improve your walks with your golden retriever.

1) If you are currently giving your dog golden retriever training, then do not involve it yet in group walks, so train it alone. Use a regular collar or martingale for this purpose. Avoid common mistakes like people making a nagging light correction (“hey ... stop... none of that”) which is the start of eventually a disastrous walk. Instead, include in the first time the correction serious enough to stop the unwanted behavior.

Meanness is not an option here. Allow the leash to slacken instead, then turn around quickly while pulling in the opposite direction, exclaiming loudly “No pull!” Before long, you will notice how a “No Pull”, together with slight tension on the leash, is enough to reign in the dog.

2) A prong can be an option, but only in important critical cases. Keep in mind to use it correctly and not to pull too hard. The dog, if it sensitive enough, will not yank too hard. Otherwise, if the dog seem immune to the pain, yanking harder is no solution. Use another method.

3) A lot of golden retriever owners still swear in the effectivity of the “unpredictable path” dog walk. All the zigzagging all over the street, and going this way and that in a faster than usual pace results to a dog giving up on leading the walk, and fully agreeing to follow you instead.

4) Gentle Leader is still another option. Some owners apply it only for the first half of the dog walk, and then when the dog shows the least sign of tiring, to take the GL off and then use a regular nylon collar instead. When the dog begins to pull, back on goes the GL.

5) Finally, in this last golden retriever training tip, the dog gets nothing fun if it insists on going on its own with its unwanted behavior. Have the dog sit, then put a restraining hand on each shoulder, while telling the dog “Lets go walk.” After a few meters, if the dog is walking well, compliment it with a “Good walk!” But if instead the dog has gone back to pulling, have the dog sit, then say “Bad walk!” With the help of golden retriever training, a golden retriever is actually smart enough to eventually know it needs to behave better!
