Dog Training - Leash/collar Training
By Anthony
There are many different styles of training, and finding the one that works best for you is important for creating a that is a talented, loyal and faithful member of the family. All successful methods of training work to reinforce the relationship between and handler, and the foundation of any successful training program is getting the respect of the dog. Fortunately, dogs are wired by nature to seek out leaders, and to follow the direction of those leaders.

This article focuses on one of the most popular methods of training - the so called leash/collar style of training. Other articles will focus on the other popular style of training dogs, often called reward training or positive reinforcement.

Both leash/collar training and reward training have been around for a very long time, and they have proven their effectiveness over time. The type of training that works best will vary from to dog, and from breed to breed. It is important to remember that each breed of has its own unique qualities, reinforced by hundreds of years of selective breeding.

Of course personalities of individual dogs vary quite a bit, even within established breeds. You, as the owner of the dog, know better than anyone which style of training will work best, so it is important to work with the trainer you choose to achieve your goal of a willing, obedient and friendly dog.

Leash and collar training is the best way to accomplish many types of training, particularly in situations where the must have a high level of reliability. For instance, dogs that have an important job to do, such as rescue dogs, police dogs and guard dogs, generally benefit from leash and collar training.

In leash and collar training, varying degrees of force can be used, ranging from slight prompts

with the lead to very harsh corrections. The amount of correction used should be appropriate to the situation, since using too much correction, or too little, will be ineffective.

In a collar and leash based training program, first the is taught a particular behavior, generally with the leash. After the has demonstrated that it understands the command, the leash is then used to correct the if it disobeys, or when it makes a mistake. The leash is the main form of controlling and communicating with the in leash and collar training.

When using leash and collar training, the must be trained to trust the handler and accept his or her directions without question. In order for the to be fully trained, the handler must demonstrate the ability to place the into a posture or position he or she does not want to take. This does not mean using force, but it does generally require some level of physical manipulation. This manipulation is most easily and safely done using the main tool of leash and collar training - the leash.

It is important for every would be trainer to understand that the leash is simply a tool. While the leash is an important tool in this form of training, it is important for the trainer to be able to eventually achieve the same results using whatever tools are at hand.

Even when the only tools at hand are the owner's body and skill, the should be willing to obey. Creating a leader/follower relationship between handler and is still very important, and it is important to use the leash as a tool and not a crutch. A properly trained should be willing to obey whether the leash is present or not.
