How do i stop my nine month old puppy jumping and barking at cars when on the lead while going for a walk?

Question

9 month old *****,west highland white terrier

Answer 1

first put some cookd chicken in your pocket and take your dog to a quiet road with few passing people or cars. now when you see a car coming you get your dog to sit and as the car passes you feed it some chicken. the dog will then begin to associate the chicken with a passing car and realise that cars are good things not to be barked at. if its stationary cars then its the same except you feed the chicken before and after if the behavior is good. now it may take a while but she will stop as long as you speak calmly and reassure her all the time through the process and with twenty minutes a day you should notice a difference in 3 to 5 days.

Unfortunately most dogs learn by negative experience (they don't change their behavior until it produces something negative). Training collars work, but they are too big for some puppies. Tugging on a leash usually makes them fear the leash, not their behavior. Find a stimuli that your puppy dislikes (sometimes a spray bottle with water in it works) and every time he or she leaps at a car, use the stimuli on it. If you use a spray bottle, don't put soap in it as an added deterent. Your puppy will get a negative reaction to bathing if you do. Try using a mixture of very very dilluted cider vinegar and water. dillute it enough so that if it gets in the eyes it doesn't sting, but there is still the unpleasant odor. A few squirts on the ole snoz and your puppy will start to realize it needs to stop jumping.

take him to an obedience class, you can normally find one that is free to participate in, in your local dog parks. otherwise discourage it. pull her back to you telling her "no, heel" in a harsh voice, when he settles at your feet for a few seconds praise her. Also, while you're at home and it's quiet, try putting the leash on him and holding a treat near him as you walk him around the house (obviously stop and praise him when he does it right), frequently change direction so he doesn't assume thats the way you go and do it automatically, gradually take away the treat until he follows you on autopilot, then start doing it in your yard, get a friend to drive up and back out of your driveway and make him think that paying attention to you is better than chasing the car. Remember, this breed was developed for ratting so it's instinct to chase and she will always want to, it's up to you to distract her with better things.

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/EEBcJ

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Answer 8

Try a training collar. Whenever she pulls, give it a gentle tug. She will learn eventually. She's still a puppy, so have patience. Good luck!

Answer 9

Give a good tug on the leash. You don't need to break his neck or anything, but get his attention and tell him "no". Keep doing that until his attention is fully on you, ask him to sit, and reward him with a treat or a good pat. Then continue your walk. I always teach my dogs to sit by my side when we stop during a walk. It really gets them to give you their respect. Good luck : )
