What to pay attention to when walking your dog

1. Training to wear a dog leash
Wearing a dog leash for the first time will make the dog feel uncomfortable, so it is best to train it at home first. When the dog is fully adapted, it means that the first step of walking training has been completed.
2. Look at the outside world through the window
Let your dog look at the busy traffic outside from the window, or hold it outside for a walk to let it get used to the noisy sounds outside.
3. Take the real first step
When you go out for a walk for the first time, if your dog is still a little wary, you might as well hold it in your arms or put it in a cage to familiarize it with the outside world. When you are completely relieved, put on the leash and put it on the dog leash. Place it on the asphalt road (there are relatively few distractions), and gradually let it become familiar with different environments such as sand, lawn, and grass.
4. Choose a safe route
For timid dogs, it is best to choose a quiet alley near your home at first, and make sure you will never encounter vicious dogs to avoid emergencies.
5. Control the drawstring properly
When a dog is attracted by something, it will often rush forward impulsively. At this time, the owner must not let it run away, but should stop immediately. Under the pull of the rope, the dog cannot Rush forward. At this time, the owner immediately turns around and walks backwards to let the dog know that the control of the walk is in the owner's hands.
Secondly, when you go to a crossroads or a place with many people and dogs, you should shorten the drawstring so that the dog can be close to the owner, so that it is easier to control an emergency.
6. Clean up the dog’s toilet
When taking a dog for a walk, it is inevitable that the dog will urinate and defecate. Therefore, you should carry newspapers and plastic bags with you. When the dog wants to defecate, immediately spread the newspaper, then wrap the poop and put it in a plastic bag. Take it home and throw it away.
At the same time, it is necessary to prohibit the dog from peeing on other people's car tires or in front of the door of the house. Let it develop to pee in the grass or ditch, so that it will not be looked down upon by others.
7. You can also take a walk on rainy days
You can also take your dog for a walk on rainy days, because raincoats specifically designed for dogs are available on the market. Owners and dogs can happily carry out their daily exercises while wearing raincoats.
However, be sure to dry your dog’s body after returning home to avoid getting sick.
8. Dogs are prohibited from picking up things on the ground
When dogs pick up things on the ground, it is easy for them to accidentally eat, swallow foreign objects or eat germs. Therefore, when going out for a walk, the owner should reprimand the dog loudly when it picks up things randomly. In addition, you might as well secretly place food dipped in chili on the ground and let the dog pick it up and eat it. After a few times, it will think that the food on the ground is spicy and choking, and it will not dare to eat it if it is not food given by the owner.
