How to train an Australian Shepherd to follow? When dog owners take their dogs for a walk, they often see the dogs dragging their owners for a walk. In fact, this way of walking is wrong. If you teach your dog to go with you, your dog walking time will become calm and graceful.

1. Dog training methods

Training method one:

1. The dog may want to rush forward because it sees other dogs. At this time, tighten the leash immediately and the dog will stop.

　2. When the dog stops, the dog owner also stops, calls its name to attract its attention, gives it a sniff of the snacks in its hand, and then starts to walk forward slowly.

3. If the dog exceeds your pace again or runs around, you need to let the dog sit down first. After the dog stabilizes, ask the dog owner to pat the side of his feet, and then Let the dog follow its owner.

4. When the dog naturally walks next to the owner’s feet, you can try to let go of the front leash and walk together. Remember to encourage it, pat it and talk to it.

Training method two:

1. When letting go, hold the leash behind your left hand, shorten the leash, give the "lean" command, and ask the dog to move on the left side of the person.

2. When feeding the dog, place the dog on the left side of the trainer, hold the food in the right hand, and the leash in the left hand. Give the "reliance" command to induce the dog to move forward side by side. When the dog maintains a more correct posture according to the command, give food rewards.

3. Use walls, ditches, ridges, etc. to conduct accompanying training. Place the dog between the person and the above-mentioned features, shorten the leash, and give the "lean" command to the dog to move forward side by side. If the dog is ahead, give the "slow" command, and if the dog is lagging behind, give the "fast" command. At the same time, use the leash and ground objects to correct the dog's position. After repeated training, you can switch to training on flat terrain.

4. On the basis of the above training, develop the dog's ability to follow without being controlled by a leash. When the dog is walking, lengthen the leash and gradually transition to placing the leash on the ground. When the dog can drag the leash along correctly, the leash can be removed and trained normally.

2. Correcting methods for common problems

1. Move forward or lean outward. Corrective methods: First, use a leash to control the dog; second, use commands to command the dog; third, use obstacles to restrict the dog. If there is a particularly excited dog, you can use the "no" command and a spike collar to control it.

2. Due to fatigue habits, when lagging behind, give more rewards when correcting actions to stimulate the dog's excitement.sex.

3. "Desert" while traveling. The influence of the external environment should be avoided as much as possible. Strengthen the affinity between people and dogs

3. Things to note

1. Wear a P-chain before taking your dog out, and prepare some toys or snacks that your dog likes.

2. If the dog wants to charge forward again, keep repeating steps 2-4. In any case, as soon as the dog leaves the side of the foot, the P-chain must be tightened.
