如何訓練您的狗狗:幼犬牽繩訓練
恭喜你迎接新幼犬!你很幸運,因為從頭開始學習如何訓練狗狗,比起讓牠們改掉壞習慣要容易得多。幼犬非常渴望得到你的關注,也很樂於取悅你。這正是趁牠們年幼時開始進行幼犬牽繩訓練的理想時機。如同其他各類訓練,幼犬牽繩訓練需要持之以恆與耐心。一開始會有點困難,但只要堅持下去,每次散步時,你都能擁有一隻乖巧地在身旁、繫著鬆弛牽繩小步前行的幼犬。

首先,先了解訓練狗狗的心理學原理。自然界中的所有動物都依循獎勵機制行動。當牠們以某種方式行為並得到想要的結果時,大腦便會產生強烈的愉悅感。記住這一點,你必須切記絕不要獎勵幼犬不理想的行為。在這種情況下,你必須避免因幼犬拉扯牽繩而獎勵牠。這不僅會讓你們雙方感到不適,也會讓幼犬牽繩訓練倒退許多。

因此,在第一次帶幼犬出門散步前,先讓牠在家裡繫著牽繩,以熟悉牽繩。牠們會拖著牽繩到處走、咬牽繩,做出各種可愛的舉動,但最後終究會忘記這個散步工具。等牠們對牽繩感到自在後,拿起牽繩的另一端,在家裡陪牠們走走。了解如何訓練狗狗,關鍵在於讓牠們習慣待在你身旁,並讓牽繩保持足夠鬆弛。在一個沒有外界各種干擾的受控環境中這樣做,能大幅提升牠們的自我控制能力。
 
進行幼犬牽繩訓練時,獎勵幼犬的正確行為非常重要。隨身帶一包牠們最喜愛的零食,只要牠們處在正確的位置,就給予獎勵。然而,如果牠們總是想拉開距離,讓牽繩保持繃緊,那你就得做一件對你們雙方而言最令人挫折的事。

原地不動。

這時耐心就是關鍵。如果你有一隻特別固執的幼犬,幼犬牽繩訓練可能會讓你瀕臨崩潰;無論如何,前幾次訓練都會很費心力。  不過,改掉牠們不良牽繩習慣的最佳方式,仍是不要獎勵不理想的行為。牠們必須明白,每當往錯誤的方向拉扯時,就哪裡也去不了。因此,當幼犬開始拉扯時,立即停下腳步並叫牠回來。牠回到你身邊後,給予充分的稱讚和美味零食作為獎勵。不斷重複這個過程,即使練到腦袋發麻,最後你就會擁有一隻牽繩訓練完善的幼犬。

    It sounds like you're being very patient, which is fantastic so don't let that time invested go to waste. It's easy to stay focussed for so long and then let that built up frustration go.
    With a puppy that doesn't walk, it's important never to pull, you'll find they rear up and the leash then starts to become a negative.
    Try playing some games in your yard with the leash on such as tug-o-war just to get her up and moving. This wouldn't normally be advised since play time on the leash can be a pain when you are out and about. We just want to get her up, moving and happy to generate some positive reinforcement, don't continue this or you will have a misbehaving puppy. Move immediately to the treats and make sure you only do this inside your yard until your puppy gets used to the leash and walking next to you following. Steadily move closer to the gate, then open it but stay inside, then move outside and back in etc. This can take 20 go's or more. Never do this training with any distractions.
    Oh one more, try sitting down at the full leash length without tension and calling her to you with treats, it will also get her moving. get to the point where you can be standing and then moving back as she approaches you. Good luck and let me know how you go.
