It's natural for them to stop and snif and explore but when you speak your cue to leave they should be movin along with you. Keep your cue word the same. Ours is "OK lets go." |
I do that with Sophie. She knows to stop if i say it, i taught her to stop before crossing the street, like before i cross the street even if i have the light i stop and tell her stop and then i saw lets go and she follows. I do this just in case anything ever happens she will not run across any street. I also always carry treats with me on walks. I am still working with Teddy and London though. London is not that bad, but Teddy would run across a street and keep going thinking it's 'fun' if i let him
I am going to save up and take him to training classes!
