The great outdoors is often the most challenging place to bring your puppy! And if they’re already an excited pup by nature or are prone to getting extra-excited by all the new stimulation outside (ie. new sights, sounds, smells, new people, new dogs, etc.) it can make walk time extremely challenging and easily one of your least favorited times of the day.
