Staying Safe While Walking Your Dog
Dogs can be a great source of companionship and a solid motivator for your exercise. But walking an untrained dog can be unpredictable and increase the risk of a fall. A recent study reports a sharp increase in injuries related to dog walking, with the most common injuries being broken fingers, shoulder sprains, and other traumatic injuries. [1][2]
Dog Coach training can help minimize this risk by teaching you to walk your dog calmly at your side and give you tools and strategies to stay safe. Our training nurtures your leadership and raises expectations for better dog behavior. Our comprehensive programs offer instruction on how to ensure a calm state of mind for your dog while at home with canine crate training and appropriate household management.
