Methods to train a dog to follow

1. Determine the direction first. Before we start the accompanying exercise, we must first think about which side the dog is accustomed to walking on. It is recommended that you let it go on the right side, because the road is on the right side, so it is generally safer to walk on the right side.
2. The owner puts a leash on the dog and starts moving forward. If the dog exceeds your pace or runs here and there, use the leash to let the dog return to you or follow the established route.
3. If the dog reacts violently, don’t rush to let the dog move on. You can ask the dog to sit down first. After the dog is stable, ask the dog owner to pat the side of his feet to give the dog a signal, and then ask the dog to follow the owner.
4. While traveling, the dog may want to rush forward because he sees other dogs. At this time, the dog owner should tighten the leash immediately and the dog will stop. When the dog stops, the dog owner also stops, calls its name to attract its attention, gives it a sniff of the snack in its hand, and then starts to walk forward slowly.
5. When the dog naturally walks next to the owner's feet, you can try to let go of the front leash and walk together. Remember to encourage it, pat it and talk to it.

Key points of training a dog to follow

1. Shake the dog leash: It seems like a trivial action, but it is actually giving instructions to the dog. A well-trained dog does not need commands at all. You only need to gently pull the dog leash. This is why dogs in the arena are obedient. Everything is on the leash. Therefore, this action must not be ignored in daily training.
2. Comfort, encouragement and praise: The same is obedience, but the performance may be completely different. If the training is not good, it may be mechanical, dull, or helpless. Well-trained, they may be lively, excited, and happy. Remember that praise and encouragement are necessary and come from the heart.
3. Training time: Just start training, 3-5 minutes each time is enough, and it can be extended to 10 minutes in the future. It should be like playing a game and don't make the dog disgusted. So the time must be mastered, but you can train multiple times a day.
