How to stop a pup from pulling back on leash and going putside in the rain?

I have a 9week old pit bull pup i have been training her to walk on her harness and leash in the backyard until she has had all of her puppy innoculations she does very well unless it is raining or if everything is still wet from the rain she will pull back so she doesnt have to go out but it results in me dragging her around the yard as she wont walk and she doesnt go toilet either due to it so when we get back in the house she gets put in her cage as im not having her peeing on my floors

she is used to the rain as where i collected her from and where i stay it rains alot she just doesnt like to be in it also when she had to have a shower yesterday as she was caked in mud she just screamed
so how will i get her to walk outside in the rain and stop her from pulling back when positive reinforcement doesnt work nor does treats?!

Anyone that can help your a god send!!

Simply put, make her get used to the rain. Keep her out in it til she'll go. When you give her a shower,consistantly give her treats. But special treats, like canned chicken or fish or liver.

A good method for this is to get into clicker training. to begin this, wait until she's hungry(like right before feeding time) and click and give her a treat. repeat as many times as it takes to get her expecting a treat when you click. Then start clicking any time she's done something good, so she associates the click with praise. Finally, click near constantly and treat often in the rain and the shower.

And a harness will not teach a dog to pull. However, harnesses offer almost no control over a dog. And they do, admitedly, make it easier to pull. And pit bulls are a pulling breed. they even hold compettitions.

After several weeks, my puppy still hates the leash. Will a harness help?

I have attempted to leash train my puppy Chihuahua for about a month and two weeks.
She is now four months old and after all that time she acts the same way with the leash as she did on the first week of training: all she does is sit there.

I have tried using positive reinforcement, treats, diffrent techniques, etc. etc. etc. I do not understand why she is so stubburn and won't walk. I easily taught her commands like sit, stay, come, up, and down.

Now that she is going in for her last set of shots, I want to take her on short walks on the street. (I did all the training in my back yard).

Do any of you have trouble leash training Chihuahuas or other small breed dogs? Will a harness that goes around the legs help? Any other tips????

thanx!!!

The harness is not likely to make a difference. Chihuahua's are clever and can be stubborn. You need to be more stubborn than she is. When you are home, just leave the leash on and sooner or later she will move. Let her drag it around to get used to it. Don't leave it on when you're not there, you don't want her to get hung up on something.

Most people think cats can't be trained to do tricks or walk on a leash, and that's simply not true. Look at any circus and you'll see the big cats literally jumping through hoops for their owners.

You'll want to start with the right equipment. It's best to use a harness rather than just a collar, for two reasons. First, a cat can quickly and easily wiggle out of a collar - their heads are not much bigger than their necks. Second, a harness will protect your cat from injury, since part of the harness goes around the cat's body, rather than just its neck. Choose a leash and harness made from lightweight nylon. Cats are easily weighed down even by the weight of the leash clip if it's too heavy.

Here are 7 easy steps to leash training your cat:

NOTE: To easily restrain your cat, position the cat so it's standing, facing away from you, then put your arm around the front of its shoulders below the neck. Hold it gently backed up against you. No need for a lot of force. The cat may wiggle, but it'll mostly be convinced it can't get away, so it won't try.

1)Introduce the harness

While your cat is relaxed, slip the first loop of the harness over the cat's head and around its neck. The cat will wiggle a lot!

2)Re-introduce the harness (I know!)

If the cat gets away from you, stay relaxed and it will quickly calm down. After a minute or so, go pick up the harness and start again. Be prepared to restrain your cat this time, so it doesn't create a habit of running away.

3)Fasten the harness

Act quickly here. Fasten the harness then immediately let the cat go! It will run, squirm, and wiggle for 2 or 3 minutes before it lies down and tries to lick the harness off.

4)Attach the leash

When your pet stops, walk over, stroke and talk to it, then click the leash onto the harness, letting the leash hang loosely over the cat's back.

5)Bring out a toy

The average cat will immediately lay flat on the floor on its stomach with all four legs sprawled out. Have a toy ready - choose something on a string the cat likes to chase.

6)Play with leash attached

Your cat will play, quickly forgetting the weight on its back. After 2-3 minutes, let the cat rest with the leash still attached.

7)Remove the harness

Your cat now understands it can move around even while wearing a harness and leash. Unhook the leash, and after about 15 minutes, remove the harness.

Next day, put the harness on, let the cat go about its business, and after 15-20 minutes, remove the harness.

Third day, attach the harness and leash and keep hold of it with no pressure on the cat. Let your cat lead you around while it gets used to the slight weight it's feeling, then exert pressure on the leash to let the cat know you're taking the lead. If the cat resists, don't drag it. Encourage it toward you with a treat or a toy.

Most adult cats are prepared to go outside by the fourth day, and I once had a ten week old kitten who was ready on the first day after only about 45 minutes!

That's really all there is to it! In a very short time you'll be able to walk through the park with your cat prancing proudly beside you. They love showing off their personal grandeur, and will quickly learn to walk with head and tail held high.
