Prevent Pulling And Lunging - Petsafe easy walk headcollar licol Guide

As soon as he begins to sit, immediately release the tension and say
"Good sit," then reward with the treat, praise and stroking.
If you have difficulty getting your
dog to sit, you can use a "cupping"
technique. Stand with your dog at your
left side. Grasp the lead with your right
hand (the hand farthest from the dog),
holding your hand right next to the snap.
With your left hand, reach around your
dog's head and cup it under the chin. Pull
the lead forward and upward to point your
dog's nose gently skyward, at the same
time using your hand to help guide his nose.
If your dog is somewhat resistant, hang in there! Keep the tension on the
lead forward and upward until he yields and begins to lower his rear into
a sit – then immediately release the tension to reward him, praise with your
voice and offer a tasty treat. Important: Do not grasp muzzle.
Some dogs will jump up or stand on their hind legs as they resist. Do not
get flustered – he can't stand up like that forever! The proper technique
is to calmly continue to pull up and forward (not down), using your hand
cupped under the chin. As soon as he begins to lower into a sit,
immediately release and reward.
Some dogs need only a soft signal to achieve sit, so if your dog continues
to resist or struggle, experiment with a softer pull – use only as much as is
needed to achieve the desired results.

Prevent Pulling and Lunging

To prevent pulling in front or lunging, allow only 2.5 cm - 5 cm of slack in
the lead. When your dog attempts to lunge or pull, simply hold the lead
firmly (do not jerk) and his nose and head will turn back to look at you.
Immediately release ALL the tension (the most important part
of the training process!) as he stops pulling and slows his pace.
Reward with treat and praise.
