Dachshund Training: Why Is Leash Training Necessary?

Without correct dachshund training, a dachshund
is going to become what every pet owner does not
desire - a pet with various behavior concerns
like aggression, too much barking, biting and
others. Inappropriate training or lack thereof,
could also make you feel that your pet is way
behind compared to other dogs with regards to
intelligence since an untrained pet is less
likely to react properly.

But what some owners didn't understand is the
fact that, every dog is intelligent provided
that they are given the opportunity to undergo
training. Though dachshund training is never a
simple job, you can find guaranteed techniques
on how to get great outcome. One is through the
use of various training tools including the
leash.

The leash, often attached to a collar, is one
tool every pet owner ought to have. It's not
just something you can use when leisurely
walking with your pet nor confine him in a
single spot of the house. What is essential
about leash during training is it's capacity to
offer you more control over your furry friend.

During leash training, the pet is trained a
specific behavior or command. Once he's showing
signals that he understands the principle of the
command, the leash is then utilized to correct
him should he disobey or do something that is
not suitable. Like for instance if you are
training him to come to you when called, if he
starts to take the opposite track instead of
coming closer to you, a slight tug of the leash
can get his focus and hopefully make him
understand that he is not doing the command in
the correct way. Put simply, the leash serves as
a communication tool between you and your dog. If
the leash is tugged, he ought to keep in mind
that he must change what he is doing. No
tugging, on the contrary, is a signal that
you're okay with how things are going.

When using this tool during dachshund training,
each dog owner should bear in mind the leash
mustn't be abused neither be used with force to
the point of hurting your dog. While firm
handling is important, care must be taken so as
to ensure your pet's safety and prevent him from
creating negative association with the leash.
Moreover, the leash shouldn't be used to punish
your dog for it will bring the two of you no
good.

In advance of using this tool during dachshund
training, be sure that your pet has gotten used
not just to leash but to collar as well.
