Pasear a tu perro: 6 consejos para establecer el liderazgo de manada
No importa si estás paseando a un solo perro o a 10 a la vez; puedes mantenerlos bajo control si te has establecido como el líder de la manada. Aquí tienes seis consejos para pasear a tu perro de una manera que afiance tu autoridad.

1. Usa una correa corta
Usar una correa corta te da mayor control, algo esencial para establecerte como el líder de la manada. Engancha la correa en la parte superior del cuello del perro; esto te permitirá guiarlo con más facilidad.

2. Camina por delante
Si tu perro siente que tiene el control durante el paseo, se verá a sí mismo como el líder de la manada. Pero tu perro te verá a ti como el líder cuando camines delante de él.
Esto empieza desde el momento en que sales de casa. Asegúrate de cruzar la puerta primero. El perro puede caminar detrás de ti o a tu lado.

3. Pasea al menos 30 minutos por la mañana
No termines el paseo en cuanto tu perro haga sus necesidades. Reserva al menos 30 minutos para los paseos, e intenta llegar hasta los 60 minutos si es posible. Las necesidades de cada raza son diferentes. Consulta a tu veterinario y observa el comportamiento de tu perro para asegurarte de que sus necesidades están siendo satisfechas.
 

4. Recompensa a tu perro en tus propios términos
Después de que tu perro haya hecho sus necesidades, déjalo deambular olisqueando por ahí.  Sin embargo, deberás ser tú quien marque el inicio y el fin del tiempo de "recompensa". Si se resiste cuando tiras de la correa, tira un poco más fuerte hasta que obedezca tu "orden" de reanudar la marcha.
Nunca jalones bruscamente a tu perro. Unos tirones suaves de la correa deberían ser suficientes para que siga tu indicación.

5. Mantén el liderazgo
Mantén el liderazgo incluso cuando hayas terminado el paseo. Haz que tu perro espere mientras le quitas la correa y/o te quitas los zapatos.

6. Recompénsala después del paseo
Al darle a tu perro su comida o algún snack después del paseo, ella entenderá que tiene que "trabajar" para ganarse la comida.
Estos son solo algunos consejos para empezar en el camino hacia convertirte en el líder indiscutible de la manada de tu perro. Hay razones muy importantes para establecer este rol de liderazgo. La única manera de lograrlo con éxito es ser constante y disciplinado en tu enfoque.

    I used smiliar things when walking my cat and they worked very well.

    He has passed on and I miss our walks.

    I've heard the rule several times that the dog should go after you through a door. This is not good practices, especially when returning to an empty quarters. The dog should be the first to have an opportunity to discover intruders.

    Hello.
    I would like to thank you for the promptness of my previous orders. They have been delivered reasonably quickly and it was great to get a reminder when my product (flea control) was due to be purchased again. This reminder came early enough for me to be able to organise my finances which was also fantastic and the price had remained low :)
    Once again thank you. I think you run a great business and I would definitely order from you again.
    Merry Christmas to all.

    I have read these guidelines over and over again, specifically about making your dog walk behind you or beside you. This simply doesn't work for me and my dog. He is well behaved, leash trained, not at all neurotic, mature, loving...but he prefers walking in front of me. He never pulls hard or "walks me"...it almost seems like I'd have to "break his spirit" to force him to walk behind me. In spite of reading this instruction many times I still don't totally get it, and I do believe quite strongly that my dog knows that I am the alpha, the leader, and he does obey. He will walk behind me or beside me if I insist, but it just doesn't seem natural to us. My dog is a 7+ year old Shiba Inu. Comments are welcome.

    Good point Ernie.
    My dog instinctively waits for me to go first, but, there are times when she has crossed my path to block me, in these cases, she's been allowed to go first and it's paid off. I'm constantly heeding my dogs body language a that's their way of communicating.
    We watch each others back.

    I totally disagree with these guildlines. I prefer my dog to walk in front of me as I can see if they pick up something and eat it that they shouldnt. Also. I want them to confront an intruder and protect me, so therefore I prefer they are in front of me. I do not allow them to walk me or pull if they do I use a choke to gently tug them back and firmer yank if they ignore my commands.
    I would much rather my dog enter my house first and catch any instruder in the act rather then interupt an intruder myself and possibly get hurt. My dog is my companion but also my protector. I either want her by my side or infront. never behind me. She knows who the Alpha Dog is. Animals are smart. she knew who was boss the first day I brought her home. She sees who feed her, she sees me drive a car. she sees all of these things she Cant do therefore I Must be the Alpha or Leader. I pick up and grasp things she cant do and I take care of her she Knows who is the Alpha by instinct and when she trys to inforce her own will I quickly let her know I am the Leader.
