Distractions are not only a BIG mistake but common ones too and it’s not only a problem with children, spouses and your work, it can be a problem with your dog too.
Watch the video to learn more about how to connect with your dog and make leash walking an EXPERIENCE!
I doubt your friend would want to keep walking with you, go to a restaurant or do any activity together if you were always on your phone. It’s rude and frustrating.
Being on your phone when you are walking your dog is the same as being on your phone when you are walking with a friend.
So when your dog is pulling, barking or lunging on the leash, part of the problem might be your connection. If you are on your phone or simply daydreaming, you are not really walking together and isn’t that the idea? Maybe once your dog is older and has more practice on the leash, you can multitask, but if you have problems and are training, it is critical that you keep your focus on your dog.
Do you need more help teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash?
Join my Loose Leash Walking class which is scheduled to open again in January or February 2021. You can get on the Waiting List and be the first to hear when registration opens!
Thanks for watching and reading and now I’d love to hear from you.

I have practiced veterinary medicine in the Cleveland area since 1990, with behavior medicine as my primary interest. I help improve the behavior of dogs and cats through a variety of online courses. I also offer one-on-one and group behavior training sessions in the Northeastern Ohio area. 
Thank you for sharing your post and video about leash walking and connecting with your dog. Great information. I learned something.
