So you think dog walking is a no-brainer, right? Just snap on the old leash and head out the door, until. . . • Your dog pulls you off your feet or jerks your arm out of its socket • An off-leash dog races straight at you and your dog, in attack or play • A coyote decides to follow you both • A speeding bicyclist barely misses hitting you • Your dog jumps on a passer-by while you are distracted with the latest podcast in your earbuds • A panting, passing runner causes your dog to go ballistic from the aggressive, fast invasion of her space. City Dog Walking Safety & Etiquette will cover all scenarios you and your dog will face in urban and suburban environments—what to do, how to react, and most importantly—how to be ready for each possibility. Tools, communication, and preparation will provide you and your pup the most satisfying of bonding experiences on every outing together. Learn simple commands to help you understand each other, find the best fit of equipment, know your local hazards, practice basic manners so you are welcome in public, and be able to face every situation that may occur. This book will help you and your dog enjoy and appreciate the special companionship you share.
