Whether you’re a new dog parent or if dogs have always been part of your life, you know that dog walking is not a straight line.  There are twists and turns—and there’s more than a little to learn to make those daily walks fun and fulfilling for both your dog and for you.

“Walking” is not the natural pace for a dog. He would much rather be running, chasing, and following his doggie instincts, wherever they may take him. “Walking” in many ways, is an accommodation to us.

You’ll shatter the roadblocks and pave the way to great walks with successful strategies (and secrets) from top trainers!

New from Whole Dog Journal, this course gives you the tools to foster co-operation, strengthen attention, rebuff distractions, and build teamwork that will stand the test. The course is impactful, engaging, and effective.

In Walking Your Dog you’ll find valuable guidance for determining the best ways, whens, and wheres, to walk your dog. You’ll know what is reasonable and practical based on your dog’s age, physical condition, temperment, and exercise needs.

You’ll be able to burnish your dog’s behavior on-leash and off. You’ll learn how to use target-training meth-ods, how to encourage your dog to walk beside you with a loose-leash, and the correct “heel” position.

And did you know that studies show that dog owners are four times more likely than other people to meet today’s physical activity guidelines? That’s right, your dog is your trainer too! You’ll find tips to amp up your own cardio-benefits with changes-of-pace that will please your pooch as well.

More than good “business.” It’s your gateway to the joy of walking with a confident and composed canine companion

Of course, for your dog, the daily walk (or two) is a necessity. Walking Your Dog will show you how to better control where he takes care of business. But of course, walks should be more. They should be an opportunity for your dog to experience a bigger, more exciting world.

You’ll be able to make that happen. In this course you’ll learn how to encourage and reward good leash behavior. You’ll master a simple posi-tioning trick that can deflate tugging…a “cue-less” technique to steady an over-ready pup… and two resistance training exercises your dog will love.

As much as you are a team, you are the captain. Your commands should be clear and consistent to make the team work at its best. The course will show you how to refine your cues and commands to avoid confusion and training setbacks and assure responsive and attentive understanding.

And as much as we’d like every day to be gentle sunshine, you and your dog will have to venture out into inclement and uncomfortable weather. In two trouble-saving lessons, the course will show how to keep your dog safe in summer heat and winter chill. You’ll learn how to protect paws from ice-melting chemicals…prevent heat stress…and maintain hydration.

Walking Your Dog comes to you from Whole Dog Journal, recognized for its pioneering efforts in promoting natural dog care and positive training. Whole Dog Journal’s authoritative guidance and independent, unbiased evaluations make it the trusted go-to resource for caring dog owners.
