Make sure that the leash and collar are snug and comfortable for your dog. At no time should you be a nuisance to him?
Reward Him
Before you start walking, put your dog on the left and in your right hand have the treat to be able to reward him when he deserves it. With the rope in your left hand and the tightrope, tell your dog to sit down before walking.
When you start walking, do it with your left foot so that he knows that now is the time to start walking. If he gets ahead of you, stand up and gently pull on the leash until your dog is back to your left. When it is placed you can resume the walk, remember that you must stop as many times as necessary until your dog understands that he must walk by your side.
Treats
Remember that when your dog stays by your side, you should give him the treat. Tell him to sit down and if he does, give him another prize. As you give him the award, say "well done", "well", or whatever compliment you want him to receive. Do it in short distances.
Increase the Distance Gradually
As you improve and understand what to do, gradually increase the distance, make left and right turn, and so on.
