Breaking a dog to lead
What are some good ways to break a dog to lead. I work with them daily with the leads but they are still fighting me when I try to walk them. Didn't know if there were any tips anyone has for me or to just keep working with them.

A good quality Prong collar a very good tool.....Just don't keep in on the dog when unattended. Also their are a few Youtube video's on proper use of the prong collar.

When I coon hunted, we use to get a big limb with good brush on it and walk them beside us and shakt it in front of them or swat em on the nose with it. After a few nights I could drop the lead and the dog would just walk beside us. I never had to hold leads on the dogs after that.

Make a stake out chain as long as you need with a ring on each end. Pound a stake through one ring, stretch the chain tight and stake the other end. Attach a drop chain or chains spaced along the length. I like a drop chain, about 18" long with a snap swivel on each end. The dog can lunge but not far enough to hurt himself. The process establishes a point of contact on their neck that you can transition to a leash and then to an e-collar, depending how close and much control you want. If you have multiple drops make sure you have enough distance so they can't fight.Terry Long wrote:just put him on a tie out and they will break theirself and you will be able to walk them

You walk they will follow on four feet or like a cigarette take them for a drag. They will learn fast.
