Want a perfect walk? First, master heel at home before anywhere else. Why? At home you have way less distractions than what is going on out in the world. It allows your dog the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the walk and the heel command while there aren't too many distractions around.
Take the baby steps like starting in the backyard, then the driveway, then the sidewalk, then the neighborhood. Set yourself up for success by taking the necessary steps rather than setting yourself up for frustration by going too fast and rushing the process.

Off-leash activities comes with responsibilities. This includes being able to call your dog away from triggers that could pose dangers to the dog or others, this includes wildlife. We do not disturb anyone or make people feel uncomfortable. Rather most are impressed and encouraged when they see us training, because they see the control we have.
So many dogs have better more adventurous lives if we train for it.

The way your dog walks through a threshold, matters! A pushy, excited, pulling, unnattentive dog at a threshold, will be the same on the walk. If you want to have a better walk, or just a polite dog coming in and out of the doorways, interrupt that pushing right away! In that very moment. Be consistent and a rule will form that can be respected moving forward.
Guys, if you want a dog that listens to you in general seek out these small moments and have meaningful conversations with your dog. It will make a huge difference!

Walk calmly

Hold a down command at a table or bench
Stay calm - not barking or pulling
Don't pick up trash

Is it worth it? Many dogs have a tendency to chew on their beds, blankets, or covers while in their crates. Some more serious than others. Bottom line, is it really worth them possibly eating it and causing harm? Nope!
Simple solution is to take those items away. They don't have to have these things.
If you do still want to help them be more comfortable make sure it's warm and cozy for them temperature wise and purchase a bed that is indestructible like @primopads (this is what we use).
You can absolutely correct this behavior with a punishment when the dog begins to chew but the honest answer is there's no guarantee when you're not available to supervise and call your dog out on it. So again, is it worth it? I would have to say, nope.

The art of doing nothing is hard for many dogs. Pearl is in anticipation at certain times which excites her and gets her into trouble, like jumping and rushing through the house.
Pearl is actually a very good dog, submissive, and listens. Her downfall is the arousal levels are sometimes a bit chaotic and distract her from what she does know. She needs coaching to slow down, fulfillment, and accountability to rules to help know the right choices to make.
She's on her way to making more and more progress. Love this girl and excited for her future!

Everything in bite size pieces is the best way to train your dog something new. As they understand one step, you move to the next step, the next challenge, before you know it you've completed training the behavior or command.
To walk nicely on a leash is no different.
Master in an easier environment first that they can handle and focus, and work your way up with more distractions.
Want to learn more? Like how do you technically hold your leash? How do you provide corrections? When can you add in food? Etc. we train dog owners everyday. Check out our programs to learn more.

Apparently Kira does her Shiba screams when around dogs... Well we haven't seen it yet soo... Why?
Could it be I'm more exciting than the dogs?
Could it be she knows I'm someone worth respecting?
Could it be she isn't really reactive?
Probably yes to all.
Typically once we begin setting boundaries with dogs and demonstrating ourselves as someone worth listening and taking information from, most "bad" behavior begin to resolve on their own. The dogs end up making better choices or are much easier to correct.
The value of structure and providing the right information to coach your dog makes all the difference.
If you want your dog to behave better start with structure, some house rules, and a way to keep them accountable. You will see a difference.
Want help in figuring it all out? We do that. Check out our website to view our dog training programs.😘

Your puppy can learn to walk nice at a young age. You don't have to wait. Waiting only allows your puppy to learn bad habits on the leash, how to pull through leash pressure, how to be distracted and over aroused. Sniffaris sound appealing but having a balance of structure is crucial if you want good manners.
We're not looking for a competition stare at you kinda heel.
We are looking for a relaxed yet attentive dog so that they don't completely ignore us and get into a state of arousal that encourages pulling, constant tugging for stops and tracking, and reactive behaviors.
Start young my friends and avoid the headaches.
