Dog Health Questions: Dog training help improving walking.?

I trained my dog of 7 months all basic tricks
there is just one thing i need to know how to train her at, its not running after moving stuff...especially little kids, she seems to whimper and and pull much and hard when walking with her and then when pass by barking dogs she does the same...

its really fustrating , she can walk properly and such but its those two obstacles that annoy me and i dont wannt her to go and bite little kids, well not sure what she wants to do.... she is a husky X German Shepard. How can i teach her to calm down, she is sorta getting stronger and takes a while to pull her away but she dosnt seem to listen when kids/other dogs pass by.

Is Your Dog Training You?



Recommended Answer:
Try reading "Control Unleashed: Creating a Focussed Dog" by Leslie McDevitt. She teaches you games to get your dog to focus on you and to stay under threshold for barking, reactivity etc. Also has DVD so you can see how to train some of the games.
You won't go wrong using her methods. They are light years ahead of any others out there and really work!
And, yes, you can use them while you are walking your dog. They work both on and off leash. I used these methods on my dog and they work really well.

Dog Training - Why and How to Train Dogs


  • Use a Gentle Leader (can order online). This will help with the actual pulling and once she's an adult (about 2 yrs) she probably won't have the desire to run after everything. It's normal for a dog this age to want to be a part of everything they walk by, but they can be trained to ignore it.

  • I dont know this either, but when my dog passes a dog he really likes, he somehow comes out of his collar. luckily, that person grabbed my dog and gave him back to me. I dont know but my dog does it rarely. Go to some dog trainer. that may help a lot.

  • Dont worry. U must work with patience. Plz follow the link below for the solution

  • Tips for dog training

    1) Avoid giving your dog combined commands which are incompatible. Combined commands such as "sit-down" can confuse your dog. Using this example, say either "sit" or "down". The command "sit-down" simply doesn't exist.

    2) When giving your dog a command, avoid using a loud voice. Even if your dog is especially independent/unresponsive, your tone of voice when issuing an obedience command such as "sit","down" or ""stay", should be calm and authoritative, rather than harsh or loud.

    3) Whenever possible, use your dog's name positively, rather than using it in conjunction to reprimands, warnings or punishment. Your dog should trust that when it hears its name or is called to you, good things happen. His name should always be a word he responds to with enthusiasm, never hesitancy or fear.Check my source, hope it helps. Good luck!
