Hi everyone! I found out a good way to train your dog to walk, maybe it will help someone. If it worked for my mulehead Basilbaby it would work for anyone I used a clicker, doggy-treats, a leash and a collar.

First, you go to your backyard (Your dog isn't wearing a leash right now) and have a clicker and treats. Walk around and every time your dog's nose comes to the seam of your pants, click the clicker, stop and tell her to SIT then say "Good dog", pat her on the head and give her a treat. Walk ahead when she is eating and when she runs up to where her nose hits the seam of your pants, repeat it over again. When she doesn't run ahead of you and stays by you, put her leash on and hold it and do the same routine. If she runs ahead you say "Ah-ah" or "No" and turn the other way. This tells them that you won't be getting anywhere with that behavior. If that doesn't work, once she runs ahead stop and wait for her to come back where the leash is hitting the ground or very loose then click, pat, verbal praise and then a treat. I haven't tried this way, my dog responded to the first way of training, if you try this tell me how it works out! Once your dog has completed the backyard walking, head to your front yard and practice. Practice, practice, practice! What I did was take in 15 minute sessions, because dogs get bored quickly so you train for 15 minutes, take a break for them to cool down and do another 15 minute training session. When you are in your front yard training, try different paces to see if she catches up. If she does good do the click routine. Stop, sit, click, verbal praise, pet then treat.
Get your dog ready for a normal walk, and wait for them to calm down before leaving. When she's calm make her sit at the door and open it, if she tries to get out sit back down and wait and try again until she sits when the door opens. After that, you go out first, this signifies that you are the leader of this walk. Those first steps are something you should do every time going through rooms. Then take a normal walk, with a clicker and treats. I hope this worked for you as much as it did for me!

Tell me if it is hard to understand somewhere and I'll fix it

I have trained my dog to walk by my side with out the clicker and treats

That sounds neat I could never do that though, my dog would have yanked my arm of probably

Hi
Tried lots of different methods, but this is what worked for me.
walking with your dog between yourself and a wall or hedge whatever is on your usual route. keep your hand or if you cannot reach a stick at your side preventing your dog from passing you out i use the command BACK when he tried to press forward. If you need to you can yous the wall or hedge and your body to block. the dog will try to move to the other side but hold your ground and keep him where you want him.
it will not be long before he gets the idea and once he is happy to walk at your side it makes dog walks a treat for both of you.
