Public Walking Drills | Intermediate Dog Obedience

In this clip, Ed Frawley talks about becoming an advocate for your dog during public walks, even when that means setting aside what you want in favor of what your dog actually needs. Using examples like his own Shih Tzu Rosie versus the German Shepherds he's owned, Ed explains why not every dog should be trained to meet and greet strangers. He walks through why dogs should learn to view strangers as neutral objects in their environment rather than potential friends, since you can never be sure a stranger knows how to properly approach an unfamiliar dog. Ed covers how, once a dog trusts that its handler will handle any problems that come up on a walk, it can finally relax and enjoy being out in public, and why building that trust takes real training and street experience.
