Here are some tips on how to walk your dog and own the dog walk. When I’m out with Miss Mildred , I often walk about 4 other dogs at a time, sometimes even at the dog parkI'm in a safe area. I own the walk and i don't let them misbehave. I am the boss and is why my dogs follow.
1. Walk in front of your dog.
Walking in front of your dog allows you to be seen as the pack leader. Conversely, if your dog controls you on the walk, he’s the pack leader. You should be the first one out the door and the first one in. Your dog should be beside or behind you during the walk.
2. Use a short dog leash.
This allows you to have more control. Attaching the leash to the very top of the neck can help you more easily communicate, guide, and correct your dog. If you need additional help, consider the dog leader collar. Always keep your dog's safety in mind when giving corrections.
3. Give yourself enough time for the dog walk.
Dogs, like humans, are set by the sun, so taking walks in the morning is great as they have more energy in the morning . I recommend setting aside thirty minutes to a full hour. The specific needs of each dog differ. Consult your vet and keep an eye on your dog's behavior to see if his needs are being met.
4. How to reward your dog during the walk.
After your dog has maintained the proper state of mind, reward him by allowing him to relieve himself and sniff around. Then you need to decide the reward time is over. It should always be less than the time spent focused on the walk. I have a male dog that loves too wee on everything and it has taking a very long time to train him to keep this mind on the job even if he want to wee on that last tree I just redirect his attention to what i want him to do and that keeps him knowing I am the boss and its has become much
more of a pleasure to walk him .
5. Keep leading, even after the walk.
When you get home, don't stop leading. Have your dog wait patiently while you put away their leash or take off your shoes.
6. Reward your dog after the walk.
By providing a meal after the walk, you have allowed your dog to "sing for their supper" by giving them a job to do before you feed them
And don’t forget to set a good example by always picking poo poo up after your dog!
