WALKING TIPS

Once your outside and on your way for your morning walk, which I too am guilty
of not doing everyday as I should, we encounter issues where our dogs get
excited. Weather it's people, places, or other animals, we still need to
maintain control and be able to enjoy our walk. People have a natural instinct
to just stop and wait for the storm to pass. Usually it ends up raisng the
excitment to a higher level where the dog is harder to control. If you stop,
that tells your dog that your unsure or even a little scared, which could make
them growl, bark, or even aggressive. The best thing you could do is keep moving
forward even at a faster pace if necessary, or if the issue is comming directly
tword you simply change directions and give them more space to pass. This tells
everyone that YOUR in control.
