Puppy Leash Training Neck
Obedience Labrador?
I have a baby 8 months old black lab. Weighs about 90 pounds already. He is a big boy, but also hyper. Wondered if anyone had any tips on how to educate him, bring him to school without obidience. He is tempermantal with strangers. I have a child of 4 years and you can get back and laughs like a pony (not that I allow), but he will not do anything for her. On the other hand, he bark at the neighbor and try to bite her. I'm afraid to take him out in public, because the hair on his back and the back of the neck will be lifted, he will bark at all. He doen't know how to sit, lay down, be kind, not jump on people, and I can not walk because he drags me down the road, if not walk in front. If my daughter walks with us and runs, he literally dragged me along the road from my arm. I felt a strong but gentle pulling on the leash, I tried to tell him heel, but nothing works. Same with the seat and fixed. Help me!
I have 3 labs. One has the potential to be reactive in some of the ways to describe. I went through a long period of training with her to make her situation is accustomed to fear. The training has worked and is very socially acceptable now. It takes time though. A couple of things before coming to mine. You say you do not want to go to obedience school, but I think you need a few sessions with a qualified instructor to work through these tendecies responsive and give you some tips on teaching basic manners. There will also help with some effective tools for walking your dog. There are some good books, but an instructor will take you there faster. Although you need to exercise, you would be better not to take your puppy and your daughter at this very moment in time. Perhaps with training that will be able to do this, but it is too dangerous. Wikipedia in one of two products. A no-pull harness, should have a ring at the center of the chest to attach the leash (like a belt of Sensible), or a Gentle Leader Head Halter. The dogs usually hate the head halter, but could be more effective in your case. Neither will give you more control of the front of the dog. Less pull, easier to obtain head towards you, if you begin to react. If you can not work with an instructor, do not recommend feeding more than a few kibbles in his bowl of food. Put rest in his pocket and give him something to eat while walking. I try to feed my dog before thinking about pulling. I use food to keep the attention my dog as you approach things that might make them react and I am always looking to stay away from those situations. The basic idea is to make your dog think that these things can cause food to happen. I started slowly, walking alone up and down my street for a week. Next week a house in both directions as the road, etc. Good Luck
