Summary

Today I am talking about how allowing your dog control the walk can back fire your training.

I'm just saying, if you allow your dog to make all the decisions every moment on the walk, I have seen it backfire over and over again :)! Hope this helps!

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the No Bad Dogs podcast. If you're listening to this,

0:04.5

hello. And if you're watching this, I'm waving high to you on Spotify or my second YouTube

0:08.8

channel. This is a crucial, valuable, life-changing podcast and context on a very particular topic.

I posted a video on my Instagram this week or on social media and let's just play the

clip so you guys can hear and see. Do not allow your dog to do what they want on a walk

to do something, like walk nicely, come back when called, disengage off another dog person or a squirrel,

1:09.0

That's really important you have those two things. Now after playing that, one, I don't think a lot of people listen to the whole thing. And the reason why I'm making this video is because there was a lot of people in the comments. I think we're really offended by this.
