[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]walking tips I learned from our trainer. Your dog should be walking to the left side of you not in front-do not allow him to[b] dominate you.[/b] You should hold the leash on two hands-your left hand is next to the dog and is should be fairly loose -your right hand holds the extra of the leash. The reason you keep left looses is you do a jerk back correction if he pulls. If you keep it taught whole time then you desensitize him plus it is mean. A quick jerk back with left hand sends message to calm down and slow down. When you first do this you may have to change directions a few time but the dog will get this. I have zero issues with walking now. I never realized how tight Inwas holding leash until it was pointed out. [b]Also do not allow your dog to stop and sniff a million times when training -your objective is to get him to understand you are the boss and these are manners. [/quote][/b]

You are really old fashioned.  The whole dominance thing is really out of date and totally unnecessary!  Why not let the dog sniff?  The whole point of a dog walk is to let the dog enjoy the walk too!  Sure there are times when you heel but, there should be times when dogs get to sniff and be a dog!  I give my dog a "decompressed" walk every day!  I got to a field with a long lead and let him go where ever he wants!  It makes him so happy and he is relaxed when he comes home.   Dogs are meant to be companions not just robots to obey every time you say jump.
