When you take your dog out to play, once you untie the leash, the dog will be like a wild horse that has run loose and won’t come back! During the dog walking process, due to external stimulation, the dog’s personality and the quality of the leash, the dog will also It may happen that the dog breaks away from the leash.

As a qualified dog walker, it is very important to have the ability to recall a dog that breaks away from the leash!

Don’t do this!

When a dog breaks away from the leash, many owners will subconsciously use these two wrong methods to deal with it:

1. Try to catch up with the dog by chasing.

2. Reprimand the dog loudly.

In fact, when you try to catch up with a dog, you are invisibly participating in the chasing game between the dog and its companions. The dog will not think that you are chasing it is a serious problem. On the contrary, it will think that you are chasing it. Play the game, so it will run further and further.

Reprimanding a dog loudly is not a good way to deal with it. Reprimanding a dog will only make it feel dangerous, so it will try to escape from danger.

Emergency Steps

Be sure to stay calm!

Try calling your dog’s name

If the dog ignores you, you can try to find a place to hide. When the dog finds that its owner is missing, it will feel anxious and come to you obediently.

Recall Training

The above methods can only be used in emergencies. The fundamental solution to the problem is that owners need to teach their dogs to obey their calls no matter what the occasion.

Establish your alpha status in front of dogs

First of all, you must establish your alpha status in front of your dog. The behavior habits of dogs are actually very similar to that of wolves. Wolves in a pack generally follow the orders of the alpha wolf. The same goes for dogs. They will obey the orders of the leader seriously.

The most common and effective method is to establish chief status by declaring food distribution rights.

The owner cannot give food to the dog while eating. As the leader, the owner should give priority to the food, let the dog stay aside, let it watch you finish eating, and then let them eat.

During the training process, learn to control your dog’s actions

After you have fully trained your dog to be aware of your leadership at home, you can try outdoor recall training.

However, dogs are usually very excited before going out. At this time, we need to do somethingIt's about calming down the whole situation.

When the dog is wearing the leash, if the dog cannot stay quietly, you can put the leash down immediately. Use this action to tell the dog that if you do this again, I will cancel the outing today.

But once, we can't make the dog understand our intention, so we need to try many times. If the dog is too excited to control, put down the leash until it calms down completely, then put it on the leash and go out.

After going out, we cannot relax. We must ensure that we are walking the dog and not being walked by the dog. If the dog pulls the leash, you can immediately turn around and pretend to go home. Use this action to tell the dog that if you do this, the leader will be very unhappy, so I want to cancel this outing.

In the early stages of training, some dogs may not be able to understand your intentions quickly, so the owner needs to be very patient. If the dog keeps pulling on the traction rope, the time to go out will be postponed until it stops pulling on the traction rope.
