Short-haired Fox Terrier walking and following training skills:
Although dog walking is led by the breeder, and the walking route and pace are determined by the breeder, it is still easy to see many dog walkers being dragged along by short-haired fox terriers on the streets.
In order to teach the short-haired fox terrier to walk beside the owner, you can use a top collar with steel nails and a dog leash that can directly convey the breeder's will, although it feels cruel. But it is not as cruel as imagined, because dogs are intelligent animals. After suffering a loss once, they will not make the same mistake again.
When your short-haired fox terrier is used to rushing forward when walking the dog, you can use the following methods:
1. Hold the dog leash in your left hand, and wrap your right hand around your back to grab your left wrist. When the dog lunges forward, the breeder can take a small step back. With the help of the right hand and the force of the body backward, the dog can be easily pulled back to its original position.
2. If you still cannot control the dog's movements well, you can hand over the dog leash to your right hand. Pass the leash around the back and pull hard with your right hand so that the dog has to return to the owner. The dog cannot leave even if he wants to.
3. The breeder pulls the dog leash downward briefly and does not move, then uses his hand to pull the dog leash in the direction where he is standing, and orders the dog to "backward!".
4. If the dog still wants to move forward, pull the leash hard to force it back, and order it again to "backward!". By continuing this training several times a day, the dog will gradually remember where he should stand.
5. At first, the dog always wants to be the first to rush out of the door, which turns "walking the dog" into a physical activity and completely loses the flavor of walking. However, don’t give up walking your dog midway because of this, otherwise your dog will be sad, and lingering is his way of expressing dissatisfaction. The decision to forego a "walk" should be made by the dog, not by the breeder.
