How do I teach him to get out? I've tried throwing things...he's not
interested.
I love the extendable leashes, those that go out 15 or more feet. I walk
all my dogs on this lead, and I let them have it. Our walks includes a couple
of ponds full of birds, and parks with squirrels, and they are allowed to
pull out and have fun. We reinforce that behavior constantly, if more that one
person on the walk, someone is way out front playing with the dog. We use the
word "GO" to let them know is ok to pull out front. This has worked wonders
for us. By the way, when I want them to walk next to me, I tell my dogs to
go "Easy". They've learn to slow down, is not quite a heel, that is something
different. But this has helped when a judge wants them to walk around the
ring, they can go easy, without heeling, but not gaiting either.
Good luck finding the right combination for your pup. He is a GSD, he will
get it soon enough.
