Connection with your dog is everything when you’re on a walk.
There are a couple of ways to reinforce it.
You can proactively ask your dog to LOOK at you, OR you can reinforce them for choosing to do so of their own accord.
It’s a really good thing to build up connection with your puppy, so you don’t end up as that thing at the end of the leash.
We want to teach them to be able to pass other dogs politely and the key to that is connection. They see another dog, you ask them to look at you, and they get reinforced for doing so.
If you practice this, when you REALLY need your dog to look at you, they are much more likely to….
You will get a lot more “loose lead” happening and it’s just wonderful when they turn around and give you that big smile as to say “ being with you is just so much fun!”
