Leash Training Tips for Your Pets
During this period of time it would also be difficult to put a leash on their pet. The pet will be very restless and will try to get away. Adding to this, they often are quite young and playful. They will look at the harness as a hanging toy and will play with it. And even if the owner is successful in leashing his pet, there will be more challenges waiting ahead. When the animal feels the tug of the leash, it will jump, try to bite the leash or claw it, roll over its back, etc. In the beginning, the animal can feel short of breath, at such times, the animal should be given a break from walking. He should be also shown affection by patting its back or stroking its fur. It helps the pet to accept things more easily.
With the progress of time, the number of breaks will decrease as will the struggle with the leash. But actually holding the animal in the owner's arms will take a longer time than him getting trained to the leash. For this the pet should be lapped and held regularly. During the whole process, the owner can get bruises on their arms. A prevention technique that can be taken is that the pet can be wrapped in a blanket and then held in the owner's arms. The owner should let go till the animal completely calms down. After that it should be patted on its head.
Frequent fondling and lapping of the animal should be done when it is young and small in size as the task will become almost impossible once it starts getting bigger. But once this initial bond is formed the next step would be to actually hold the animal when it is wearing the leash. Again there will be a struggle as the situation will be completely different. The pet should not be held tight by the hands, instead the leash should be held very near to the harness. After the animal gets tired and calms down, he should be released. By this the animal will learn that the only way of getting released is by holding still. After sometime, the pet won’t struggle at all, when being held in the owner's arms wearing the leash. The time period of holding the pet can then be increased slowly.
Having leash training tips is a very essential part of learning overall pet discipline. Also, since the animals have a natural instinct of roaming freely in the wild, they need to be taken out on regular walks, in order to maintain their physical balance. And when pets meet other strangers on the street, it should be trained not to get anxious. Also leash training helps in ensuring that the pet is not lost or stolen when you take it for a walk or to market. In many communities, pets are required by law to be on a leash when in public. This is for the animal's safety as well as humans and for the protection of property.
