"Hi, I'm Carol Underwood with Have a Great Dog in Austin, Texas and today we're going to discuss having your dog walk on a leash politely. There are many steps to this and what I would like to do is start out showing you how your dog can be. First, we want to make sure we have focus and then she's going to walk with me. Chaz Chaz Chaz. Good, good, good, good. Now as I turn, I want her to stay with me so that she is safe in a crowd with me. So that she doesn't get into trouble and for many of us, we're walking on crowded sidewalks. So that allows us to be polite and allows people to be around us that may not care for dogs too much. They'll appreciate how great yours is."
