visitor Vee DeOllos-Hudsonasked me what to do when her canine cries as well as acts excessively thrilled on walks when he sees other dogs (dog in photo is not Vee’s dog).
The issue is, he likes other dogs as well as can’t manage himself around them since he is so friendly. He is okay when he satisfies dogs in other situations, however when he’s on a leash, he cries excessively.
So, does anybody have any type of recommendations for Vee?
How do you stop a canine from crying during a walk when he sees other dogs?
I suggested a few things:
First, make sure your canine is getting sufficient exercise to get rid of any type of pent-up energy.
Not getting sufficient exercise is typically the primary problem. one more great concept is to indication up for an obedience class with a group where your canine can get utilized to heeling around other dogs while on a leash.
But this circumstance can be produced without taking a formal class by walking side-by-side with a buddy as well as his or her dog. keep moving ahead as well as do not let your canine odor the other canine up until the end of the walk when he is calm.
If your canine cries as well as pulls near a canine in a yard, try walking by the exact same canine a number of times just for method (and up until you drive people nuts).
You might try walking in the direction of one more dog, as well as the second your canine begins crying, turn as well as walk the other way. When he’s calm, walk toward the canine again, however walk away if he cries.
I believe it’s finest to appropriate a canine best away if he begins crying or pulling as well as to never let an excessively thrilled canine odor or play with one more canine up until he is calm. The pinch collar works finest in many situations for control, although a choke collar or gentle Leader may work for some dogs.
Remember to keep the leash loose except for a quick leash pop. A tight leash as well as collar will produce much more tension as well as enjoyment as well as make a canine cry or pull even more.
And my last suggestion: If there is anything the canine likes much more than other dogs, like a tennis sphere in my mutt’s case, bring that with you on your walks to get his interest when needed. perhaps it’s bits of hot dogs, jerky or cheese. utilize whatever works.
