1. Utilisez une laisse courte
Utiliser une laisse courte vous donne davantage de contrôle, ce qui est essentiel pour vous imposer comme le chef de meute. Attachez la laisse en haut du cou du chien ; cela vous permettra de le guider plus facilement.
2. Restez devant
Si votre chien a le sentiment de contrôler la promenade, il se verra comme le chef de meute. Mais votre chien vous verra comme le chef de meute lorsque vous marchez devant lui.
Cela commence dès le moment où vous quittez la maison. Veillez à passer la porte en premier. Le chien peut marcher derrière vous ou à vos côtés.
3. Marchez au moins 30 minutes le matin
Ne terminez pas la promenade dès que votre chien a fait ses besoins. Prévoyez au moins 30 minutes de promenade, et jusqu'à 60 minutes si possible. Les besoins varient selon les races de chiens. Consultez votre vétérinaire et surveillez le comportement de votre chien afin de vous assurer que ses besoins sont satisfaits.
4. Récompensez votre chien selon vos règles
Après que votre chien a fait ses besoins, laissez-le se promener et renifler un peu. Cependant, c'est à vous de décider du début et de la fin du moment de « récompense ». S'il résiste lorsque vous tirez sur la laisse, tirez un peu plus fermement jusqu'à ce qu'il obéisse à votre « ordre » de se remettre à marcher.
Ne tirez jamais brutalement sur votre chien. De légères tractions sur la laisse devraient suffire pour qu'il vous suive.
5. Gardez la tête
Gardez la tête même après la promenade. Faites attendre votre chien pendant que vous retirez sa laisse et/ou vos chaussures.
6. Récompensez-la après la promenade
En donnant un repas ou des friandises à votre chienne après la promenade, elle comprendra qu'elle doit « travailler » pour obtenir sa nourriture.
Ce ne sont là que quelques conseils pour vous aider à devenir clairement le chef de meute de votre chien. Il est important d'établir ce rôle de leader pour plusieurs raisons. La seule façon d'y parvenir est d'adopter une approche constante et disciplinée.

I used smiliar things when walking my cat and they worked very well.
He has passed on and I miss our walks.
I've heard the rule several times that the dog should go after you through a door. This is not good practices, especially when returning to an empty quarters. The dog should be the first to have an opportunity to discover intruders.
Great tips. Thanks :)
Hello.
I would like to thank you for the promptness of my previous orders. They have been delivered reasonably quickly and it was great to get a reminder when my product (flea control) was due to be purchased again. This reminder came early enough for me to be able to organise my finances which was also fantastic and the price had remained low :)
Once again thank you. I think you run a great business and I would definitely order from you again.
Merry Christmas to all.

I have read these guidelines over and over again, specifically about making your dog walk behind you or beside you. This simply doesn't work for me and my dog. He is well behaved, leash trained, not at all neurotic, mature, loving...but he prefers walking in front of me. He never pulls hard or "walks me"...it almost seems like I'd have to "break his spirit" to force him to walk behind me. In spite of reading this instruction many times I still don't totally get it, and I do believe quite strongly that my dog knows that I am the alpha, the leader, and he does obey. He will walk behind me or beside me if I insist, but it just doesn't seem natural to us. My dog is a 7+ year old Shiba Inu. Comments are welcome.
Good point Ernie.
My dog instinctively waits for me to go first, but, there are times when she has crossed my path to block me, in these cases, she's been allowed to go first and it's paid off. I'm constantly heeding my dogs body language a that's their way of communicating.
We watch each others back.
I totally disagree with these guildlines. I prefer my dog to walk in front of me as I can see if they pick up something and eat it that they shouldnt. Also. I want them to confront an intruder and protect me, so therefore I prefer they are in front of me. I do not allow them to walk me or pull if they do I use a choke to gently tug them back and firmer yank if they ignore my commands.
I would much rather my dog enter my house first and catch any instruder in the act rather then interupt an intruder myself and possibly get hurt. My dog is my companion but also my protector. I either want her by my side or infront. never behind me. She knows who the Alpha Dog is. Animals are smart. she knew who was boss the first day I brought her home. She sees who feed her, she sees me drive a car. she sees all of these things she Cant do therefore I Must be the Alpha or Leader. I pick up and grasp things she cant do and I take care of her she Knows who is the Alpha by instinct and when she trys to inforce her own will I quickly let her know I am the Leader.
