Dog Walking Checklist

Dog Walking
The collar needs to be placed (and stay) at the top of the neck.
Decide on a style of dog walking leash.
When taking out the leash, present it to your dog and wait until he/she is sitting or laying down calmly next to you.
Before placing the leash on your dog, make sure he's calmly sitting in place.
Never place a leash on a out of control dog.
Do not use a flex leash, it limits your control.
The leash should always be held loosely with your dog by your side.
Once the leash is on your dog and he/she is waiting calmly for your next move.
Stand up tall and proud, and walk towards the door.
Open the door and do not let your dog walk through the door before you.
If your dog is waiting calmly, only then should you invite your dog to join you outside.
Begin your walk by standing up straight and walking with pride in yourself.
Pay attention to yourself and your body language rather than focusing on your dog and what they are doing.
Develop a body language and sounds that your dog will identify with what you expect from him.
Your dog should never be allowed to be even an inch in front of you.
Be sure to not put tension on the leash, especially if your dog is doing the right thing by walking either beside you or next to you.
Reward your dog when he is doing what you want.
After exercising and walking for awhile, always allow the dog to smell and enjoy the things around him.
Once you return home, reward your dog's good behavior.

Tips

If walking in a park, call ahead to check to see if there are any restrictions. Carry a pooper scooper. Carry water for both you and your pet. Take time for rest. Play with the dog, talk to other walkers.
