My 12 week old puppy will not follow us, and cries and screams when we pull her on walks. Please help!

Full Question:
First of all, I really love your advice!! It's put simply, and it's very reliable! I have used used your web site for most of my dog training needs, and it has worked fantastically well! But there is one question I still have. I haven't found any mention of this on your site. (If it is on your site, then my apologies, I must not have looked hard enough) My 12 week old puppy refuses to go anywhere with me, or anyone in our family. We try to take her on walks, but she always pulls the other way and whines and cries extremely loudly. We really don't know how to get her to come on walks with us. Is she scared? Or is she stubborn? We tried a prong collar but she pulled and squealed even louder, and still did not come with us. Please help me!

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
The dog needs to be on a line - what I like are the 20 foot light weight cotton lines that we sell - when the pup does this we put pressure on the line. Some pups give in to simple pressure - others need to be popped, popped, popped until they understand that it's easier to come than act stupid.



I would recommend you purchase the DVD I produced titled Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months.



I have owned and trained German Shepherds for 40 years. In the past 30 years I have bred over 340 litters of working bloodline German Shepherds. I give this video to all of my puppy customers and never get questions on how to raise a pup.



Read the description of the tape on my web site. Dog training is not rocket science, it's simple common sense ideas on how to handle and train a dog. The DVD has 2 ½ hours of training information.



You should also consider my 4 hour DVD on Basic Dog Obedience - The fact is you have way more to learn than your dog. I always recommend the handlers start studying this DVD right away even though you wont train a lot of the work until the pup is 4 to 6 months old.



I also recommend that you go to my web site and read the article I wrote on my philosophy of dog training. I think you will get some good ideas there.
