How about a Walk?



Did you forget something? I am sure your dog will tell you. OH yeah! I need to walk the dog! Some days it's like that. Life is super busy and you barely have a moment to just sit down. Well, there's your dog in front of you. You may be looking into "Puppy Dog" eyes or you may be seeing your dog bouncing off the walls, running  over your furniture like a roller coaster! Either way, a 10 minute walk may help you out.

Walking the dog is just part of owning a pet. And really, it is the best way to interact with your dog. Why? Dogs are pack animals and it is inherent in them to move as a group. You and your dog make up the "Pack".

Now, your dog may walk beautifully! No pulling ahead, sniffing or peeing on every mail box, tree or bush. But if your dog doesn't walk nicely and that is what's keeping you on the couch, especially when you are dead tired, you can change that.

1. Proper Equipment:
  • Prong collar worn high on the neck behind their ears.
  • 5' or 6' leash. Soft and supple in your hands.
2. Proper Position:
  • On your left side preferably. Or right! Choose one and stick with to it.
  • The dog's head slightly behind your leg.
3. Proper Attitude:
  • Be confident.
  • Move with a Mission.

Now you are ready! Go wipe the dust off your leash and take your dog for a walk. Or teach your dog to Fetch it for you!
