The Canine Center is a Dog Training school and Dog Boarding kennel located in south Orlando. We are near OIA and LK Nona.
Use your dog’s harness for everyday walks and exercise while your dog is learning how to walk nicely on his leash and collar. Transfer his leash to his neck collar when you wish to work on his walking/focus exercises. Always remember he is not allowed to apply any pressure on this neck collar. When your dog feels the slightest pressure on his collar, he is to stop and look to you for redirection. Think of the collar pressure as someone tapping you on the shoulder. You have been “conditioned” to turn and look when someone taps you lightly. Your response, turn to look, is not based on how hard someone has tapped you or hit you, it is based on your past experience with this action. The same is true with the pressure applied to your dog’s collar.
