Taking your dog for a walk outside presents them with all kinds of distractions. Whether that be free-roaming wildlife in your local park like squirrels or deer, people playing with a ball or other dogs - they are all things that can steal your canine’s attention.

You won’t always have the best puppy toys to hand when you need to gain back your dog’s attention on a walk. This is why it’s so important that you show your dog who is in charge and instill good walking manners in them as soon as possible.
