Speak with your dog
Yep-you are probably going to feel like a dork, but it's the best way!
2
Remain calm
Your dog can feel your energy even when you are no where near each other.
3
Establish long distance vocabulary
Teach your dog hand and sound commands so that distance isn't an issue.
4
Walk like a supermodel
Walking with your chest out and head held high with all the confidence in the world.
5
Adhere to an unspoken agreement with passersby
Call your dog to you when you encounter another person.
6
Activate your water
Swirl the water three times clockwise, three times counter-clockwise and then three times clockwise again to activate it.
7
Be in the Now
Take ten minutes to sit with your dog on the river bank and watch the birds.
8
Use visual aids
Dogs communicate through visuals. Hold the image in your mind of how you want this hike with your dog to go.
9
Mind your preoccupation
Frazzled? Take a moment to evaluate your mood and make adjustments from there.
10
Shut up more often
Dogs thrive through energetic connections. Constant talking with anyone is annoying!
