Wrap your traditional leash around your hand until there is very little give between you and your pet. Pull the leash close to your body but allow enough give to allow your dog to walk naturally. Your dog will feel the resistance of the leash and realize that getting ahead of you is unacceptable.
Reserve a treat that your dog especially likes for training purposes. Many dogs are quite enthusiastic about pieces of hot dog, cheese, or jerky. Make sure these treats are easy to eat and do not require too much chewing.
Slip collars help keep the easily distracted dog in line. Pack leader collars are used on dogs that like to pull. Harnesses are useful on dogs with elongated necks. Special-use collars include shock collars, vibrating collars, and GPS collars. Glow in the dark collars make sure you are visible to others. Use retractable leads if you live near a large park or in the countryside so you can enable your dog to explore.
Begin with putting the leash on. When your dog stops resisting the leash. As the dog walks behind you or beside you. Repeat periodically throughout the walk. When returning home, remove the leash. Repeat daily.
