Re: [Chihuahuas] About Dogs: Walk Your Dog

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. shanna  --- On Thu, 10/28/10, OKreationZ <mskitt...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: OKreationZ <mskitt...@yahoo.com> Subject: [Chihuahuas] About Dogs: Walk Your Dog To: undisclosed-recipie...@smtp110.prem.mail.ac4.yahoo.com Date: Thursday, October 28, 2010, 2:09 PM     This is generally not Chihuahua specific but has good enough info that I like to share it..
