Quote :Dog Training by Sarah Hodgson
A teaching lead is more than a leash.It’s a leash-belt combination that has five uses: it allows you to “wear your dog,” providing a hands-free system of walking him; it enables you to hold your dog with a hand loop, providing him six feet of freedom; and it works as a short-station, a long-station, and a cargo-contain
ment lead. Once you learn how to use a teaching lead, it will help you communicate with your dog all day long.Introduce the Teaching Lead
To use the hands-free teaching lead system, put the training collar on your dog and then secure the leash around your waist as if it were a belt.
1 Begin walking in an open room, yard, or driveway.
2 If your dog walks ahead of you, simply turn away from him, say LET’S GO, and walk in the opposite direction. Do this several times until he is choosing to follow you.
Now you can teach your dog how to behave in the house without fearing that he’ll bolt or get into mischief. You can also supervise his chewing,bathroom, and stealing habits. (See chapter 6 for more problem-solving ideas.) 3 As you walk through your home, give the leash a tug every once in a while to remind your dog to pay attention to you. If he’s not cooperating, go back to step 1.
Use the Teaching Lead to Teach Station Stays
By stationing your dog to an object, you can teach him how to stay still. It’s best to start doing this when you are in the room or nearby.
1 Select a spot at which to secure the leash, and put a bed there with toys on it for your dog to play with.
2 Take your dog to the bed, instruct him to SETTLE DOWN, and secure him with the leash.
3 Secure the end clip into the base hole to make the lead the shortest possible length.
4 If your dog can’t sit still, stay close to him until he is more comfortable with being confined.
TRADITIONAL LEASH
There’s a D ring on the teaching lead that you can use to secure one end clip to create a traditional six-foot leash. Once it’s connected, there is no difference between a teaching lead and another kind of leash. This is ideal when it’s time to let your dog go to the bathroom.
CAR CONTAINMENT
You can use the teaching lead to secure your dog to the head rest. Simply attach the clip to the end loop on the base ring and secure it around either object.
QUICK STATION
When you’re out and about with your dog, you have a traveling station lead to allow you to secure him to a tree or table in a pinch. Note: Never leave your dog unattended in public. Ask someone to watch him if you are alone, and never lose sight of him.
