How to Improve Your Dog's Walking Skills

Here are some things that are fun and help your dog to pay attention. They're best to do after your
dog understands how to 'walk on a leash'.If you like, bring along some treats.

Activity #1
As you're walking, call your dog's name and then say, "Come!"
Immediately, start walking backwards. Your dog should turn
around and walk or run happily towards you. While you're
backing up, gather up the leash as your dog gets closer to you.
Let your dog catch up to you and praise him.

Activity #2
During your walk, gently turn around and go the opposite direction
calling your dog so he goes with you. You will now be walking
in the opposite direction, both going the same way. You can
do this many times so he learns to go wherever you go.

Activity #3
While walking, make unexpected left turns, right turns,
zigzags. Praise your dog.

Activity #4
While walking, go fast, slow, and then back to normal pace.

All of these things not only make walking fun, but keeps the dog's attention on you.

Walking your dog is good for your dog and good for you. Walking keeps both of you healthy and your bones strong. Spending time with your dog is important. The more your dog knows you, the better he will understand what you want. Take a walk everyday, even if it's for just a couple of minutes. If your dog is too strong for you, invite your parents to come along. Have a nice walk!
