Continue reading! * Once again a lab puppy training will involve a leash so once you place the leash on your pet have him or her walk straight.
Please keep in mind that, if you have never put a leash on your dog then it may take some time for him or her to get use to it.
Walk regularly with your dog where his or her eyes are looking horizontally with one of your knees.
As, you continue to do this walk in circles.
In other words, play around with your buddy.
This will start helping your pet to start getting use to the leash.
Always practice this from both sides the right and the left ok.
For some reason pet owners only practice this from the right side, but then when you put your pet on the left side he or she has a tough time with it.
* Another part of a lab puppy training there is, is called the 'visual line training'.
When you teach your pet to heel with the leash on, and you tell them to heel they should right? Sometimes they don't so for this example you will need a longer leash.
Let's say about 6 feet.
While you are walking with your pet.
For some reason your pet has a line in their mind that doesn't exist, but they feel that is where they stop walking.
Your goal in this exercise is to teach your pet that you decide when they stop, not him or her.
Take the leash and swing it around in front of them so if your dog tries to go further, the leash will tap them in the face gently so they will think that they have to stop.
This exercise will show your pet that when you pull the leash gently, and you want them to stop they will stop.
* Also, with a lab puppy training you can train them to heel, sit and other things as well.
If you want them to heel, again make sure you have a leash that is at least 30 feet.
Tell your pet to heel, sit or stay.
You have to make sure you are holding the end of the leash, and be as far as you can away from your pet.
The purpose of this is to show him or her that even though you are far from them you are still there, and they won't think you are leaving them there all alone.
This is another way of training your dog with a leash on.
As you can see, this is what a lab puppy training consists of.
Always keep in mind that you don't have to train your puppy on a leash they are other ways of training them as well.
Whatever training you do perform on your buddy, please make sure it is with a lot of love.
