It has dawned on me my dogs have never been tethered in fact they have never been taught leash pressure and only have worn collars and been on a leash for legal reasons in public areas.
i don't like loose leash walking and never trained it.
my question is if i ever have to tether my dogs they might freak out and injure their neck.
does anyone condition presumably a puppy to not resist a tie out and how?
I have trained expensive horses and from that experience i know tie them to a post is a long and delicate process.
thoughts??

"Horse People" make some of the best dog trainers...They understand how to control a large animal without all the force...
The main thing about getting your dog used to a leash and collar is wearing it...Then as they walk and the dog pulls and tightens the tension you give a little tug/pop on the leash/collar then release it...If you put tension on the leash/collar and don't release it then the dog will pull even harder...It takes a little practice and observing how the dog reacts...but you'll get the hang of it...

The main difference between a dog and a horse trainer is you f up someone's dog you just blame genetics and flip the dog, you f up someone's horse you don't eat until you find another career path.

The main difference between training dog and horse is, the dog is predator and the horse is prey. Very different motivations......
Unless a dog is completely feral or a complete idiot, learning to be tied is not any comparison to teaching a horse to be tied. If the dog has even smarts, the worst they will do is chew the leash and get loose, or slip the collar.

Ok so there is no training steps involved, problem solved.
btw marker training works better on horses birds ......than it does on dogs go figure

No training steps involved unless you're dealing with a wild canid or a feral dog. If the dog is socialized enough to walk on leash, no problem tying it.

This is me with my horse and bull. I trained them my own way, no clicker or markers, or seminars, or learning manuals. I'm what you could call innovative when it comes to training, so teaching a dog to stand tied to a post is not a major challenge, in my humble opinion. Good luck with your dogs, I'm sure everything will turn out fine.
