NO and you cannot make me!

All dogs, regardless of size or breed, need to be taken on daily walks to get moving. It is an important ritual in keeping your dog mentally and physically stable.

For our Beagles, Maddox and Buddy, when running shoes are in hand they begin singing like contestants trying out for American Idol, dancing included.

Walking in front allows you to be seen as the pack leader. Conversely, if your dog controls you on the walk, he’s the pack leader. You should be the first one out the door and the first one in. Your dog should be beside or behind you during the walk.

We walked today and I owned the streets. No sitting just walking and obeying.

Thanks Cesar.
