Dog Obedience: Off Leash Dog Obedience Training

Off Leash Dog Obedience

Taking it to the next level...I thought this timey question might just be of benefit to you, too.

Hi Dog Loving Friend,

How are you doing...this one is for you Danny, thanks for your feedback, I appreciate you.

Danny wanted to know an effective off leash reliable technique for how to go from using the long leash to actually getting his dog to be truly off leash.

At the end of the day, I think it just comes down to putting one foot in front of the other so to speak...let me explain:

It boils down to conditioning...

So it's crucial to never call your dog if you can't make himcome, until he is conditioned.

You see, dogs at first, are aware and know they're dragging a long leash, but after a few weeks, they forget about it.

Just like you know you're wearing clothes...after awhile, you just stop thinking about it and paying attention to it.

This is the perfect time to change the length of the long leash, I suggest different lengths of long leash to work him in a variety of settings.

And then sometimes mix and match by calling him from half length.

Sometimes tie the leash to a post or tree, give him the stay command and walk to the other side of the tree, then call him.

Sometimes you can work him in a small yard, without along leash and only use a buckle collar.

Remember once you're 100% sure he understands the exercise...only correct him if he ignores you or tries to run away or disobeys...

The name of the game is to build a "conditioned response."

More to come in the next couple of days.

Thanks for your time, I appreciate you.

Dog training...success made easy and fun
