There are many different techniques you can use

Both the leash/collar styles of dog training and
reward-based dog training have been proven to be
effective methods of dog training over time. The
method of training that is most effective is
dependent on the dogs breed and his
temperament. Each dog has its own personality,
which is emphasized even further by many
years of selective breeding.
6
The personalities of individual dogs can be very
different, even within the same breed. It is up
to you, as the owner, to determine which method
of training will work best for your dog, so it is
important to work with the trainer in order to
attain your goal of an eager, well-trained and
friendly dog.

Leash/collar training is the best way to fulfill
many factions of dog training, especially in
circumstances where the dog must be very
dependable. For example, certain working dogs,
such as police dogs, rescue dogs or guard dogs,
tend to gain from leash and collar training.
8
In leash/collar training, different levels
of force can be used, varying from light
modifications with the lead to firmer
corrections. The level of correction used should
be relative to the situation, as too much
correction, or not enough, can prove
unproductive.
9
In a leash/collar emphasized dog-training
program, the dog is first taught a desired
behavior on the leash. Once the dog seems to
understand the command, the leash is then used to
modify incorrect behaviors. The leash is used as
the main form of control and communication with
the dog in this form of training.
10
With leash/collar training, the dog must learn to
trust the handler and follow commands without any
hesitation. The dog is considered fully trained
when the handler is able to show that the dog
will follow a command even if he does not want
to. While this does not mean using brute force,
it will likely necessitate some physical
handling. This type of handling is most
effectively completed by use of the leash.
11
Anyone attempting to train his or her dog should
understand that the leash is merely a device.
While the leash is necessary for this style of
dog training, it is important for the dog trainer
to strive for the same results using whatever
gear are nearby.
12
No matter what device the owner uses for
training, such as the owners body and voice, the
dog should be eager to comply. Building a
trusting relationship between owner and dog is
vital, and it is important that the leash is used
as a tool rather than a crutch. A properly
trained dog should be eager to obey with or
without a leash.
