A Clicker Leash Makes It Easier To Control Your Dog
Did you know that dog’s love to be trained to be obedient to their pet parents’ commands, but why, they want to please and obey and of course getting a treat for 
doing so. Pleasing a dog’s pet parent commands is a happy beginning of a close relationship, and there are numerous commands in training your dog that is fun for both. Perhaps the pet parent does not have the time for obedience training and prefers to send their dog to school, but personally, I feel that if the pet parent can train their own pet, there is more to the training than just obedience. There is the togetherness of love and confidence between the two and besides, it is very rewarding in knowing you did a good job and end up with a wonderful pet that you will be proud of.
Depending on what training you want your dog to learn, there are simple procedures for your dog to understand what it is that you want them to do, and they will learn to 
understand to be a well-trained dog. Most pet parents have more than one leash for their dog, and many of the different lengths have different reasons in using the leash for training, such as longer leashes are used in training to ‘come’, and generally used for training your dog to ‘heel’. The retractable leash is a good tool because you have more control over your dog and is a popular and successful training tool that is reasonable in price. The clicker leash is retractable and contains a clicker within the handle when used with each command, the dog will learn to respect the clicker and of course, receive a treat each time they follow through.

Part 3 – The Pet Child Learns Leash Walking
When you bring your new pet child home, they know nothing of the necessary 
commands to be a good doggie and please their pet parent, they just want to play, so they must learn. So far you have trained them to recognize their name when called, learned how to sit and stay, now they need to learn how to walk side by side and not take off like a bat out of nowhere. It is the pet parent, who is in command, not the pet, and the pet child learns this by training and obeying. Being pulled down the sidewalk or anywhere for that matter by your dog, is not enjoyable, so teaching the leash walking is necessary in solving this problem.
The clicker leash works well with this training and once your dog learns how to walk side by side, both of you will enjoy this togetherness. Every time you allow your dog 
to pull forward on a tight leash, you acknowledge that all is okay, but it is not. The pet child must learn to walk next to their pet parent on a loose leash, so every time your dog pulls forward tightening the leash, stop walking. Your dog will turn to you to see what is wrong, so continue to walk, and if the dog still wants to pull, stop each and every time, and before you know it they will understand what they are suppose to do. Test your dog by slowly walking ahead with a loose leash and as soon as your dog gets the idea, stop, click, and reward, and repeat this as many times as it takes for them to understand. Be Happy!
Part 2 – The Pet Child Learns to Stay
All of these commands for your dog will take time in them learning what each command represents, so take your time in training them with lots of love and 
patience, but never scold your dog because this is a time of happiness together learning all kinds of cool commands. The ‘stay’ command coincides with the ‘sit’ command, so once your dog is sitting in front of you, give their leash some slack and take a step or two back, use your hand as a gesture (such as a stop gesture) and say the word ‘stay’. If your dog moves forward, take a few more steps and repeat again, ‘stay”, but remember you want to stay within the concept of saying the word only one time for each command, then when your dog stays, click the clicker leash and reward with a treat. Each time your dog obeys, take a few more steps backwards and repeat the command until they understand the ‘stay’ command.
When your dog obeys the ‘stay’ command anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds, increase the time with every move until your dog will stay for at least 30 seconds, then try this command with a few distractions to test the dog’s obedience and you feel comfortable. Gradually take your dog walking and stop at a curb before crossing the 
street, then give the ‘stay’ command, use the clicker, then reward with a treat for this is important for the dog to understand that when you come to a street crossing, they must stop and ‘stay’ before crossing to the other side. When your dog is compliant to your command, you will be able to test them out again in front of other dogs with continuous training. Two things that I have neglected to mention in these articles, start training your dog at an early age, and socialize your dog among other dogs because if you do not, you can be sure there will be trouble ahead for you and your dog. (Part 3 will continue with walking with a loose leash command) Be Happy!
Part 1 – The Pet Child Learns To Sit
Pets learning their name as soon as possible is important in calling and/or talking to 
your dog and beginning to get acquainted with each other in their new home. The next step is to give the “sit” command using the clicker leash, which by now, they should be in tune to the sound of the clicker and what it means. To teach your dog to sit can be a very easy lesson for them because they love attention and know there is a treat waiting for them, so remember this is the “sit” command, and in learning how to sit, your dog will associate the command with only the movement of your hand and their treat. Show your dog the treat in your hand, but do not say “one word” just move your hand up over their nose toward the back of their head, this is what you might call an automatic gesture between the pet parent and their pet child, and before you know it, they will sit down automatically continuing this training with only the movement of your hand, but do not allow them to lie down.
Once that is accomplished, give the command a name “sit”, then the clicker, and then a treat. Your dog will need consistency in their training and continuous commands learning what their pet parent is asking of them. The most important thing to remember is use the command word only once, otherwise the command will become unimportant, but continue training until they know what the “sit” command represents. (Part 2 – will continue with the stay command) Be Happy!
Retractable Dog Leash is Two Fold
The way I look at dog leashes is the significant training on “walking”, “stay” position, “sit”, and “come”. A regular leash and collar is used in this training . Leashes are available in different fabrics, and leather, and come in different sizes, lengths, and colors. What I call a regular leash is usually short enough for maximum training and 
the pet parent has better control. Learning to heel, is usually short leads with enough lead way in regular training, teaching your dog to walk beside you when walking and not ahead or behind. This is a great accomplishment in your training, and having your dog obey. This particular command is rewarding not only to the pet parent, but to their dog as well. There is a certain satisfaction in walking side by side. There can be distractions though and must be corrected immediately to avoid disagreement as to who is in charge. Persistence in training is the key to any command that you want your dog to obey.
After completion of training in the heeling position and your dog is very obedient in walking by your side, the other commands should still continue, but you could change to a different lease that would give them more headway to explore. Dogs love to go walking, especially if they have a certain rein that has been relieved of tension as to how far they can go where they can smell anything and everything. This is a fun and enjoyable experience to the dog and their pet 
parent. They feel they are free to roam, but guess what, your dog is still not in control and will not take long for them to understand exactly who is in control. When the pet parent feels that they have roamed far enough a head, just push the retractable button. Using a retractable leash is not only just for fun and style, but also still has the obedience control just by controlling the give and take of the leash line. This is also a method that can be used in the “come” command, by commanding your dog to “stop”, and then use the command “come”. You may leave the leash open as your dog comes back to you. Just release the button to retract back into position. Be Happy!

Leash training is an essential part of their learning the behavior process, and will build a lifelong bond in building character between you and your dog.

is important, but having a brand new collar and leash is just as important.
