Today, we will explore the topic of loose leash walking and how to transition your dog from working in a confined space to going on destination walks. Loose leash walking is an essential skill that all dogs should learn, as it allows them to walk calmly beside their handlers without pulling or tugging on the leash.

When it comes to transitioning from working in a confined area to walking on the sidewalk, it's important to assess your dog's readiness. Some signs that your dog may be ready to walk on the sidewalk include their ability to walk calmly on a leash in a confined area, their willingness to follow your cues, and their length of attention span. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are key to successfully transitioning your dog to this new environment.
