WALKING YOUR DOG - ELEVEN
RULES
When we walk our dog, no
matter the destination - on the city
streets, in parks or in open spaces - it is
necessary that he respects the disciplinary
rules settled before and learned, to avoid
getting into problems with other animals or
people we meet.
So let's see how our little friend will
have to act in some situations:
1. Usually, in crowded places we will keep
him in a leash, to always have him under
control. So he will have to know how to
walk in a leash, near your foot, without
pulling.
2. The dog is not allowed to jump on people
or animals met or to attack any of those,
as long as he isn't aggressed.
3. The dog shouldn't run after bicycles,
motorcycles, cars or people that are
running. It is know that some dogs do that
because of their hunting instincts.
4. When we let the dog free, to relax, it
is crucial that when he is called he return
on the shortest way and as fast as
possible.
5. At a picnic, the dog is not allowed to
pass thought other people's carpets or to
eat their food.
6. Wherever our dog might be, he is not to
be allowed to eat food given by someone
else or food found thrown around.
7. Generally, small dogs are more spoiled
than big dogs and they are more aggressive,
anti-social and afraid of other people or
dogs. The ones to blame are the owners that
often amuse themselves when they see their
dogs acting this way. This way the dogs get
to barking and even biting their own
owner.
8. The dog must have the initial training
learned and practiced, so we would have no
problems when walking him.
9. All through the walk, the dog is not to
chew on his leash or to pull it with his
teeth, because it might happen that he is
tied somewhere alone and he will chew on it
until he becomes free and gets lost.
10. The dog is not allowed to jump up and
out his front paws on us or others even if
he is just playing.
11. Pay attention to drunken people! Many
times the smell, the walk and the yelling
of drunken people annoy the dog. The dog is
to loose his reality sense and his
instincts and therefore they won't pay
attention to any of our advices. Some
drunken people are even aggressive to dogs.
Stay away from them as much as
possible.
