9) Stopping can be tricky. Your goal is to have your dog sit any time you stop. If your dog sits when you stop, give them a treat and praise them again. If they do not sit when you stop, you will have to return to the sitting position and start again.
10) Once your dog has become accustomed to the training process, you can start to randomize the dispersal of treats, but do continue to praise your dog, as they love the attention.
Final Tips
Your Shih Tzu will not complete leash training in one session. It will take time and patience to develop obedience and trust. Be sure to provide encouragement to your dog during every session. You will need to be consistent during dog leash training. This allows your Shih Tzu to develop patterns and become familiar with the process. Although this process can be long and frustrating, remember that the end result will be best for both you and your pup.
