If you’d like to have your dog outside, have him go through leash training. Dogs stepping outside of their owner’s fences are mandataed to be on a leash. Despite others seeing it as a harsh method, leash training is inevitable. Below are pracitcal guide for training your dog with a leash.
Also, view Dove Cresswell, it is a great dog training guide
1. Prepare to be patient. Dogs train at their own pace.The manner and speed of learning is a factor of their breed and your commitment to the training program. Beagles need more intense training as they easily get distracted. Collies are faster learners than Bichon Frises. Of course, you will need to be firm and consistent, ensuring your training is done appropriately. If you fail to be consistent, dogs get confused and your training will last weeks longer.
2. Age has a bearing. Younger dogs adjust sooner to a leash than adult dogs do. If they had not had a leash prior, adult dogs need an adjustment period.
3. Direct your dog’s attention to the training. In whatever way you do it, it is essential for your dog to be mentally alert during training. If he has trouble concentrating, train where there aren’t too many distractions. Do your sessions in the backyard instead of out front. Passing cars and passersby splits your dog’s attention. If your trainee is a hyperactive type, exercise him vigorously to tire him a little; he’s likely to pay attention better that way.

Choose Your Equipment.
Today, you have more than one collar and leash option to help you and your dog reach your training goals. The customary fat leash is normally enough for instilling obedience in young puppies. In other cases, you would find these special equipments useful:
1. Head Collar. This one is very similar a horse’s collar. It allows you gentle control of your dog with two loops – one around the mouth, the other around the neck. If you want to train your dog not to lounge, this is your best bet.Mouth movement remains unrestricted; it thwarts a forward thrust of the head by turning it to a sideways movement.
2. Retractable leash. This leash has a push-button control that lets you take up slack quickly. This is excellent if you’re allowing your dog to walk around further away from you. Your dog can wander off several feet from you but you retain control with this leash.However, don’t take up slack with the push button if you’d like to teach your dog to heel.
3. Choke/Prong Collars. The name itself suggests this type of collar inflicts pain on the animal. On a leash, this allows you to remind your dog to behave himself by a slight tightening of the collar or jabbing spikes at his neck. Your purpose is only to cause your dog some discomfort with a little pain, not seriously hurt him for misbehaving.

Extra help dog leash training anyone?
My friend has a 2 year old GSD. It’s a boy dog and its very strong.
When they go out for walks at night the dog pulls everywhere, especially when it sees a cat, it wants to chase it, it will pull like crazy and if you weren’t ready for his sudden pull he could pull you over and drag you along while he chases the sound or noise. He once even nearly got crashed by a car when they just tied the leash to his collar and just got out the gate, he just leapt over and did a sudden pull!
If this keeps happening their dog will die because… It might get crashed by the car…
Any suggestions on how to solve the pulling problem as well as cat chasing/bird chasing/leaf chasing.
It gets very annoying trying to stop him, they just say sternly, “No.” and they pull him away.
They have tried one of those head leashes when the dog wears something around the muzzle so you can control the head, but the dog refuses to wear it.
A lot of dogs don’t like head collars, which are dangerous anyway with a dog that suddenly hits the end of the leash (they can cause cervical spine injuries).
Your friend should immediately enroll the dog in a beginning obedience class. Part of the problem is that GSDs are very intelligent, very active dogs. If you don’t keep them busy both mentally and physically, they’ll come up with their own entertainment, including dragging you down the street. In the obedience class, consult the trainer about prong collars. Yes, I know they look awful, but used correctly they are actually safer than head collars with a dog that hits the end of the leash suddenly and with force. A study in Germany showed they were significantly less likely to cause neck injuries than traditional training collars. Only 2% of the dogs wearing prong collars showed signs of injury from them. Like any other collar they can be abused, and they can be fitted incorrectly. So go to a trainer experienced with them for instruction and fitting. Don’t trust the pet store.
I own GSDs and train GSDs. My first male took me off my feet as an adolescent. He hit the end of the leash very hard and I wouldn’t let go. I literally became airborne and watched the ground passing below me before I landed face first in the dirt. The next day our trainer put him in a prong collar and I was able to control him with it until he got enough instruction from obedience class to behave without it. He hasn’t needed a prong collar now for almost 10 years, but that six months of adolescence it was truly a life saver. For both of us. Just make sure it is used correctly.
Once they can control him safely, they need to double his exercise and include mental exercise from training to burn off his excess energy so he’ll be easier to live with until he grows out of nutty adolescence.
