To achieve the best results, hold the lead so your dog has enough lead to walk by your side but not enough to forge ahead.
As soon as you feel tension on the lead, redirect your dog’s attention to you; you may need to slow down or stop. Once he is back in the desired heeling position, we suggest rewarding your dog with a treat before you start walking again. You may find yourself redirecting your dog quite a bit in the beginning, but with some patience, consistency and rewards (like a favourite treat or toy), he will quickly learn the correct way to walk with you.
Reward your dog often when he is walking politely beside you. Keep treats in a pouch or your pocket for quick access.
Use in a Car
When your dog is restrained, he should be able to sit or stand comfortably but will not have full access to roam the car. When restrained in the car, the PetSafeTM 3 in 1TM Harness and Car Restraint will prevent your dog from interfering with your driving, creating a safer experience. For the ultimate safety of you and your dog, do not restrain your dog in the front passenger seat.
The PetSafeTM 3 in 1TM Harness and Car Restraint has multiple car restraint options designed to allow for the maximum comfort of your dog. Try each to find the best solution for your dog before going for your first car ride.
