won\u2019t my dog let me put the leash on her?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Start by giving her a treat just for allowing you to hold the leash near her, then progress to touching her with the leash and so forth. Take your time. Don\u2019t push her too fast so that she is trying to avoid the leash. Just take it a step at a time at a pace she can handle without stress.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-does-my-dog-hate-the-leash\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_hate_the_leash\"><\/span>Why does my dog hate the leash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why dogs may pull on a leash or resist walking. If the dog has not been leash trained before, the sight, smell and feel of the leash and collar could be frightening or make the dog nervous, which can lead to resistance or balking.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-force-your-dog-to-walk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_force_your_dog_to_walk\"><\/span>Should you force your dog to walk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You should not force your dog to walk by things you know they hate. While you\u2019re probably not going to be able to keep your dog from every scary thing, while you\u2019re working through the fears or anxiety, it is okay to try to minimize exposure.Why is my dog aggressive on leash but not off leash?<\/p>\n<p>There are usually multiple factors at the root of leash aggression. Dogs who are anxious or overly territorial are more prone to it. Lack of proper socialization as a puppy can contribute to the unwanted behavior because your dog never learned how to say a proper \u201chello\u201d to his four-legged friends.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fqZKyhwofyw\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"why-does-my-dog-bite-when-i-put-his-leash\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_bite_when_I_put_his_leash_on\"><\/span>Why does my dog bite when I put his leash on?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Their leash biting can be more of a \u2018play with me\u2019 act and not purely defiance or acting out. When it comes to leash biting, it could just be your dog is bored or he\/she has a need to entertained. This is quite similar to wanting to play.
