My Dog Pulls!

It’s impossible to use a Canny collar on dogs that have flat faces. Brachycephalic dog breeds such as Pugs, Boston Terrier, and Shitzhu do not have enough of  a muzzle to fit a head collar. For these guys, I might suggest the Starmark collar for training them to heel.

For most beginner dog/people teams, the Starmark dog training collar is a much better choice than a metal pinch collar. The Starmark works on the same principle as a metal pinch or prong collar for dogs. When the leash is tight, the collar has a clamping effect that is uncomfortable. Unlike the metal prong collars, the Starmark cannot penetrate a dog’s skin. The prongs are plastic and not as pointed as the metal prongs. Beginners can use the Starmark without traumatizing their dogs!

Did you ever wonder how some Golden Retriever dogs seem to know when to start walking with their owners and when to stay in place, without any noticeable input from their owners?  This is especially true for people who compete in upper levels of AKC obedience competitions.

Here’s how you can teach any dog to walk with you, or stay in place, without using a verbal command. The dog must know heel, stay, and how to sit or stand next to you in heel position (dog’s shoulder is adjacent to your leg) before you can refine the signals for these commands.

Tip of the Week!

Always take your first step with the foot nearest to your Golden Retriever when you want your dog to walk with you. Take your first step with your foot farthest from your competition dog when you want the dog to stay while you walk away. At first, tell your dog to heel or stay, accordingly. After several practice sessions, your dog will watch your feet and know if you want her to heel or stay! This works for all breeds!

Say, when teaching your dog to heel on leash, make frequent, abrupt turns, so that the dog learns to stay connected to you. Practice in a field or parking lot so your dog does not see a clear path. If you walk on a sidewalk, make “about face” turns.

In the picture, Molly a young AKC Miniature Schnauzer, is walking like a pro with her Starmark collar! Notice the shadow of the leash. The handler is not tugging or applying pressure because the dog is walking in position. Perfect!
