• First, you need a 4 foot leash and a collar that won't slip off.
• Start by having your dog sit on your left side facing front just like you.
• As you say "Let's go", take a step starting with your left foot. Using your left foot all of the time will signal your dog that you are about to walk.
• Walk at your normal walking pace and talk to your dog while you walk. Tell her what a good girl she is. You want her to be happy walking with you. Keep talking to her. Make it fun.
• Go a few feet, then stop. You can praise her now. Or you can have her sit and then praise her...as long as she stays with you.
• Practice for 5-10 minutes several times a day. Keep it fun!
