Get a chain leash, your puppy won't be able to bite it. And when it finally learns, maybe you can switch back, unless you like the chain. Also, get a chain collar, Everytime it behaves bad, you pull it so it stops, and maybe the puppy will learn from that. Hope that helps.

All puppies do! Don't get mad at it because it will be scared of the leash. I would suggest basic puppy obedience classes where they can teach you how to get your puppy to walk properly on a leash. If he or she is under 12 weeks, I would just let it play with the leash. My 10 month old Sheltie is incredible in obedience and when we're just walking for fun, she still tugs at her leash and shakes it around and growls playfully and I don't scold her. She knows it's not serious time and I know she'll outgrow it. When we're in the obedience ring, she heels perfectly and looks angelically up at me the whole time so she knows the difference between play and serious time. If it is really annoying or you have a large, hard-to-control puppy try putting some of that bitter tasting spray on the leash, that should work and gently say "No" and possibly give a gentle tug to stop it. They can give you more suggestions in a class. Plus, class is fun and it's great for your puppy to learn to get along with other dogs and people and you might possibly want to do obedience trials in AKC or UKC (which accepts mutts) if your dog shows potential. Good luck and I hope you have a great relationship with your dog and love them as much as I love my two puppies, Emma and Toby who are like my kids!

When you are supervising the puppy put the leash on and let the puppy do all he/she enjoys doing. What is happening now your puppy feels as if the leash is a restraint. Once the pup realizes the leash is not a restraint he/she will come to terms. How old is the pup? Have you taught the pup any obedience yet? Answer those questions and you/we will have a better idea of where you are as far as training goes.

#1 dont play tug of war with him they will associate that with a leash, puppies do not need choke chains just persistence gentle quick tugs when he pulls its a startle and your telling them from the beginning that you are in control and if your puppy is pulling you stop and make him stop with you. I have a 120 lb doberman/shepard and a 80 lbs american bull dog whos 8 months old. Hope this helps and good luck :)

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMS1Z
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

I agree with the other two answers. Also keep the leash very short and if he still persists on biting it get a product called bitter apple and spray it on the leash. It tastes some kind of bad.

To train your puppy I don't think that you should send him to the training center. Instead, to train him all you have to do is give a treat that he likes. Than, give a command. If it is a new command, just show him what he should to do. When he does it, give him another treat. When that is over, Go for the next. Keep on practicing this way and he will finally learn.

Try to be nice but forceful1st tell her/him to sit after she/he does that tell her good dog
then say DROP IT PLEASE!
some how dogs know when people are using manners
is she/he does not do this
Walk her with no slack in the leash if she/he still bites it stop and dont let her or you move until she stops Say good dog !
But try to teach her "drop it" with toys,plants, rocks and her leash
GOOd luck

that is intuition to take chase. Dobermans tend to have severe preypersistent, so this may be an ongoing difficulty. somebody suggested leaving a collar and leash on him in the domicile so which you may seize ahold of it. this is an incredible theory. whether, i might under no circumstances yank on it to the place the front ft might arise off the floor and shake him! extra like step on the leash to end the chase, and direct him someplace else or to do something else. destroy his the concentration on the cat.

Never pull on lead, always have a treat in front of its nose, so it follows, give it the treat or praise when it follows, be persistant, 5 minutes at a time
