Leash Training a Puppy

Leash training a puppy can be frustrating but I am confident that a few puppy training tips and a little ingenuity can solve many dog problems.

Our Lola is irresistibly attracted by any kind of rubbish she finds during our walks and she picks up (and possibly eats) anything she can get hold of.

This morning, I armed myself with a piece of the my best Parmesan cheese cut into tiny bits and I tried to turn my little rubbish hound into a consumed gourmet.

I gave Lola a crumble of cheese and, although she just had breakfast, she immediately got very interested in me and the content of my pocket.

I kept talking to her to keep her interested and as soon as her attention faded I said “look at me” in the most convincing tone and fed her a little cheese.

By the end of the walk it was enough to say “look at me” to catch her attention.

I’ll carry on with this technique despite the cost of Parmesan and hopefully Lola will forget why she ever found garbage so appealing.
