This is Ryan Gwilliam on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to teach you how to properly
walk a dog. What you want to do first is get your leash and make sure that your dog is
in a calm state. He needs to be sitting down and relaxed as these dogs are right here.
If your dog is excited, barking, jumping or wagging his tail too much then when you get
outside, he is not going to listen to you. So make sure that he is calm like this and
we put the leash on him and then we will go over to the front door and anything that creates
excitement we will redo. The important thing to know is that you are always the first one
out of the door. Your dog should never lead you. You should always lead your dog. You
open your door a lot of times your dog will get excited and go running outside. I have
trained my dog not to do that and so they will stand here patiently until I decide to
move forward on my command. So then we will walk forward. Now as far as when you are on
the street, your dog should never be allowed to sniff the ground, run ahead of you and
anything like that. A dog is always at your side or slightly behind you and then you will
make sure they are not looking left to right. They will look straight ahead at all times
and that makes them concentrate and they are fully concentrating and waiting for your commands.
