Читать книгу Whoa Dog, Whoa! - CPDT-KA Deathe - Страница 5

We start one of two ways… Either we say the words, “Wanna go for a walk?” or we simply grab the leash and next thing we know we have a severe case of our doggie going “B.S.C.”

Next we fasten the leash, open the front door and our pooch drags us out the door at high speed. And the walk begins: Dragging, tugging, pulling your slow butt to the next stop on the itinerary. You yell, scream, plead and probably use language that would make your mother blush. But did it stop the pulling? Well if it did, I would imagine you would not be reading this book. In all actuality, your dog probably thinks you are enjoying this romp through the neighborhood as much as they are!

The fact remains that pulling still works. The dog starts at point A and ends at point B, even with all your objecting and scolding. Even pulling back on the dog seems to have minimal success, because once you release tension or quit jerking the dog, they go right back to pulling. You, my friend, are focused on the behavior you don’t want, rather than what you do want, and that is the little secret within this book. But before we get to the specifics, let’s look at some of the tools out there on the market. Some of which I am sure you probably have stuck in some drawer in the house!
