The dog kept rushing forward with the leash, and ran away instantly when he let go. For a long time, the plot of him running and you chasing has long formed a fixed pattern in the hearts of dogs, and the turning training method is to reverse this situation through some small means, so that dogs can follow your footsteps from now on!

Training steps:

1. Bring some snacks with you, and then take the dog to a safe and open environment. After ensuring that there is no one and no dogs around, you can let go of the leash.

2. Take a few steps forward and see where the dog is going. Then comes the crucial part! - Immediately turn around and run in the opposite direction of the dog!

Don't look back! You have to trust your dog to find you. The first time you do this, your dog may not follow you immediately, but when he realizes that you are no longer with him, he will chase after you.

3. When you see your dog running from behind and passing you, turn around again and walk in the opposite direction!

Remember, don't greet it or try to attract its attention. Because you are not training it to come to you at this time, but letting it understand that you may disappear at any time, so it must always pay attention to your movements.

4. When your dog is about to catch up with you from behind, turn around for the third time!

But this time you have to stand facing it, then call its name, and give it a treat when it runs to you to let it know that you want it to chase you.

After doing this a few times, you will find that your dog starts to become alert, because he is a little worried that you will disappear at any time, and this also shows that the training has worked. Do this once a day. Turn away and reward can be flexibly interspersed - your purpose is to make it feel that you are "unpredictable" and know that it will be rewarded for following you.

Keys to Success

Changing a dog's inherent thinking is not something that can be done once or twice. The turning training method must be practiced repeatedly in the early stages, and do not follow the dog under any circumstances. It should be up to you to decide which way to go, which direction, and it should learn to follow you.

In addition, food rewards are also very important. Rewarding correct behavior can also increase the dog's enthusiasm for following you, making training more like a game.
