Tip of the day

     When walking a dog always keep both hands on the leash to be able to control the dog.  Many dogs can go from zero to sixty in a few seconds, before you can detect the cat that they have scented.  Put your less dominant hand through the leash loop.  Keep your less dominant hand near your hip.   Wrap the other hand around the leash.  This hand can slide up and down the leash as required.  This will better help you control a dog that decides to bolt after a cat.  This saves you from the headache of chasing after a dog that has gotten away from you.

      Stay tune for future tips on dog walking.  Later in the week I will write about the use of dog treats in training your dog.
