When we thing of what our dog's walk should look like we think of them walking by our side without being distracted by anything and only sniffing when we say it's ok. Spoiler alert! There is NO "should".I'm here to let you off the hook. Your walk doesn't have to be perfect. As long as your dog is 6 feet from you, you and your dog are enjoying the walk, and everyone around you is safe, then I don't care what your walk looks like. No we don't want them dragging us down the street (then we wouldn't be enjoying the walk) but we also don't need them in a "heel" position the whole time (then they wouldn't enjoy the walk).It's about finding the balance that works for you and your dog. In this episode I talk about:* What my rules for what your dog's walk should look like.* What my rules aren't. * Why every dog should know "heel".* Why I encourage your walk to NOT be perfect. * A note about puppies and when your dog should have strict rules.Press play and enjoy!Other resources mentioned and related to this episode:YNP #011: Reasons to Leave Your Retractable Leash at HomeYNP #050: Three Most Common Leash Walking QuestionsPlaytime Paws Academy: A brand new program for dog and humans no matter where you are in your training journey.
