My Dog Joined a Neighborhood Watch Program
06 Feb 2009
People see me and my dog and the #1 comment I get is how well behaved my dog
is. "Can you teach my dog to do that?" they ask
Sure, all you need to do is join your Neighborhood Watch Program. You
should see the weird stares I get when I mention that. No, you don’t
really need to join, although it is a good program. My point being that
you should go out and walk your dog for 30 to 45 minutes. And you should
do this everyday.
That is the time you work on the basics of obedience. Need help with
training? I have many books
and DVDs to
help out. While walking, you get to bond with your dog, explore the world, and
get exercise for you and your dog. Exercise for your dog is the best therapy
around. It provides for a calm submissive state when they are home, and
they are more eager to please. Lastly, they become an obedient dog that others
will admire.
So what’s with the Neighborhood Watch program? Well, on your daily walks, you
observe. You find those neighbors that does not want dog poop in their yard. You
meet new friends, and you can tell when something is different, because it does
not fit that daily routine.
Don’t forget your dog leash and poop bags. Now get out there and Walk
That Dog. Be sure to give them ear rubs from me.
