By Hannah Downey


Not many people take into account the importance and the benefits associated with properly leash training a basset hound pet. For some folks, there really is no need to leash train their dogs. Even so, many undesirable things can take place if you ever disregard the essence of proper leash training. Aren't you mindful that basset hound training is much easier, more fun, safer and more productive if you incorporate leash training in your basic lessons? Indeed, leash training comes with a wide range of benefits more than you could ever think about.

Various injuries and accidents can be shunned if your basset hound can conduct himself appropriately while he is wearing a leash. A leash-trained dog isn't apt to pull on his collar, and thus, hurt his neck. Correct procedures of leash training will also teach your basset that walking ahead of you, leash pulling, urine marking and chasing cars or other animals are not desirable behaviors. The truth is, some behavioral issues can be easily corrected or eliminated if you are to properly leash train your basset hound pet.

A properly leash-trained basset hound knows how to socialize well with other dogs, and understands well that acting out isn't really pleasant. Indeed, leash training helps in developing your dog's social skills and ability to refrain himself from doing unsightly habits. In fact, a leash-trained basset is more well-behaved, reliable and friendly.

Moreover, countless health benefits can be achieved if you consistently leash train your basset hound pet with the aid of your exercise and training routines. But of course, you need to be smart with the forms of exercise that you give your basset considering how unique such breed's body structure is. It's best to do consistent walking routines along with other ideal physical exercises so as to supercharge your dog's physical and mental capabilities.

Adequate and proper means of walking your basset will help sharpen your pet's mood; this way, he becomes more keen and prepared before taking on various basset hound training courses or activities. Also, proper physical exercises induce a good digestion, proper blood circulation as well as strong bones and muscles. You also get to exercise yourself.

Leash training your basset hound is also one good way of developing leadership, trust and obedience. Since you need to take the lead and properly guide your pet, you get to practice your position as his pack leader. Evidently, such endeavor is also a very effective means of strengthening your bond with your pet. You can spend a productive time with your dog.

In addition, you also get to evaluate your basset hound's obedience level as well as the degree of his focus during your training sessions. You will find out whether your dog can still pay attention to your commands even if you're going to conduct your basset hound training routines in places where there are many distractions and temptations.

Leash training will also help you manage him should you plan to greatly enhance his tracking or hunting abilities. Just be certain that you first teach the basics of obedience training prior to doing leash training so that you won't have a tough time managing your pet during your training sessions.
