SEGMENT 6
ONCE YOUR DOG IS LISTENING TO YOU AND IS WALKING CALMLY AND UNDERSTANDS AND FULFILLS YOUR “SETTING UP FOR SUCCESS” COMMANDS, THEN YOU ARE READY TO TRAIN HIM TO COME, LISTEN, FOLLOW AND OBEY YOU.

THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE COMMANDS IS TAUGHT THROUGH OUR ALPHA UMBILICAL LEASH TRAINING TECHNIQUE.

THE TOOLS THAT YOU NEED FOR THIS TRAINING TECHNIQUE ARE:
-UMBILICAL LEASHING TOOL – YOU CAN PURCHASE THIS ITEM AT A
PETS STORE.
-MARTINGALE COLLAR

ATTACH THE UMBILICAL LEASING AROUND YOUR WAIST AND ATTACH IT TO HIS MARTINGALE COLLAR. ENSURE THAT HE CAN SIT AND LIE DOWN BY YOUR SIDE – YOU WANT TO ENSURE THAT HE CAN SIT OR LIE BESIDE YOU IF HE SO DESIRES.

THE CONCEPT OF OUR ALPHA UMBILICAL TRAINING TECHNIQUE IS TO KEEP HIM BY YOUR SIDE AT ALL TIMES AND TO ENFORCE THAT HE MOVES WITH YOU WITH NO VERBAL COMMAND.

THIS TECHNIQUE MAKES YOUR DOG PAY ATTENTION TO YOU AS HE WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR NEXT MOVE WILL BE.

MOVE SLOWLY, QUICKLY, MAKING STOPS, MOVING IN ZIG ZAP PATTERNS.
DO NOT MOVE AROUND YOUR DOG – MAKE HIM MOVE IN UNISON WITH YOU.

DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY VERBAL COMMANDS – IN THIS FASHION, HE WILL LEARN TO WATCH YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT, WHICH IS WHAT MEMBERS OF A PACK DO – THEY ALWAYS WATCH THEIR ALPHA LEADER.

PRACTICE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR 5 MINUTES, 3 TIMES A DAY FOR THE FIRST WEEK.

AFTER THE FIRST WEEK, INCREASE THIS TRAINING TO 10 MINUTES, 3 TIMES A DAY.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO GO OUT ON THE TRAIL – YOU HAVE COMPLETED 3 WEEKS OF INSIDE LEASHING – YOUR DOG NOW KNOWS HOW TO WALK CALMLY BESIDE YOU, HOW TO BE SET UP FOR SUCCESS AND HOW TO TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVE.

WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR DOG OUT FOR A WALK, REMEMBER, YOU WALK OUTSIDE THE HOME FIRST – ALPHAS ALWAYS START FIRST.

WHETHER YOU ARE GOING FOR A SHORT WALK, OR AN ANTICIPATED LONG HIKE, COMMENCE WITH YOUR ALPHA UMBILICAL LEASHING FOR THE FIRST 2 MINUTES. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU WANT HIM TO GET INTO THE WALK ZONE.
THEN RELEASE HIM TO ENJOY THE LENGTH OF YOUR LEASH OR OFF LEASHING.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENDABLE LEASH AS THEY TEACH NOTHING BUT DISRESPECT, AS WELL AS, YOU HAVE NO CONTROL IF HE JUMPS AT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE.

WITH AN EXTENDABLE LEASH, HE DOES NOT EXPERIENCE ANY CORRECTIVE CONSEQUENCES TO HIS BAD BEHAVIOUR AS YOU CANNOT REACH HIM QUICKLY TO CORRECT THIS BEHAVIOUR.
