Leash walks are exciting adventures for your puppy. You’ll often find yourself pulling your pet’s head away from something that he has been sniffing on the ground. There are so many things along the way that can pique his curiosity—candy wrappers, leaves, chewing gum, cigarette butts, etc.

Their sense of smell is already well-developed so your puppy can easily be drawn to strong-smelling items. Keep a close eye on your puppy so you can steer him away from objects on the ground. This will help prevent any unfortunate incidents. You can distract and divert your pup’s attention with a squeaky toy or treat.

If your usual route passes through restaurants, trash bins, or heavily populated areas, it is a good idea to take another route.

If you are having problems with your puppy's behavior, talk to your vet Champion Forest, TX.
