3. Correcting Behavior: ● If your dog starts to pull or lead, use a firm "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" and a quick, gentle snap of the leash (across your body) to bring them back into position.
Dealing with Distractions
1. Common Distractions: ● Other dogs, people, and noises can distract your dog during a walk. 2. Handling Distractions: ● If your dog is distracted by a squirrel, another dog, or any other stimulus, use a strong "leave it" command. If the dog doesn’t respond, escalate your tone and firmness. Combine this with a snap of the leash if necessary. When the dog redirects its attention back to you, immediately praise it to reinforce the behavior.
Benefits of Proper Walking
1. Improved Behavior: ● Regular, structured walks can reduce behavioral problems and improve overall obedience.
