It’s summertime and most of us are out and about, enjoying the nice weather. Even if you’re not big on the outdoors, it’s easy to still find yourself walking your dog through the neighborhood more now than ever. But making sure your dog is safe while walking around busy streets is imperative. So, just how do you ensure your dog’s safety and enjoy a nice sunny day where you have to cross the street a time or two? The best method is to teach them to sit before crossing a road The most effective way is to start training before they are 16 weeks of age. Although you can train them at any time, earlier is always better. Take them for walks and cross the street while implementing sit commands and giving treats. This will give them positive reinforcement for stopping and sitting before they cross the road. The next best is to teach them to go “down” when you command if you see a car coming If the sit command isn’t going so well, you can try and teach them to stop and lay down whenever you see a car coming. Telling them to go down will help avoid them running out into traffic after a squirrel or whatever it is that has his attention. With both of these techniques, it’s good to practice at home and out on the road when it is safe. Using treats and praise will go along way in the likelihood of them following the commands when needed most.
