I can vouch for the walking, it acclimates them to all the different sites and sounds. It is much more effective when they walk and not be carried. I also walked both my girls in the same pattern for several days and then kept lengthening that pattern walk. Then started a different pattern but always leading the walk back home the same way. This way if they ever did escape they would know how to find their way back, no matter what direction they come from. I have also deliberately walked them through town, so they get use to all those human feet walking by them and the sound of all the cars, etc. It all acclimates them to over come all the things that they have never witnessed before. Once they get over it they then aren't as fearful of people. It did wonders for Princess's aggression and Gigi's insecurity. Gigi loves to walk on the leash now, even in town, she doesn't shake anymore either. Forget the dog parks, that's paradise for them now! LOL!

Hi
 
I went to Ceaser Millans website and looked up dog aggression. He said that most dog aggression, can be lack of excersize! I do walk Ricky about 6 times a day, but its only around our complex. I need to take him to a park and walk daily.

Happy Halloween! I hope you and your dog have a fun and safe weekend. Dog trainer Amy Bender has been hard at work providing more helpful information for you. Check out her product review and some tips about dogs and leashes.

Review: Premier Easy Walk Harness
The Premier Easy Walk Harness was designed to prevent your dog from pulling on the leash. Dog trainer Amy Bender just reviewed the product herself. Find out her expert opinion.

Loose Leash Training
Walking is a great activity for both you and your dog, and it's much more fun when your dog can walk nicely on a loose leash. Learn how to properly leash train your dog.

Introducing a Dog to the Leash
Before your dog can be trained to walk on a loose leash, he must be introduced to the leash. Even some adult dogs have very little or no exposure to a leash and collar, particularly strays.

Breed of the Week: Saint Bernard
Saint Bernards are massive dogs with even bigger hearts. Though they still have the ability to be excellent working dogs, Saints are typically seen as gentle, lovable family companions.
