Learn Your Puppy's Temperament When It Comes To Walking On The Street


Walking your dog on the street may seem like a nice stroll for you, but if your puppy is not used to it � life can be very stressful for the little guy. Knowing your puppy's temperament will help you prepare for his reaction to different noises and situations on the street. Here's how some of the different temperaments react on the street:

1. A hyper puppy is going to focus quickly on different distractions but not for long periods of time. Use a strong motivator to your advantage to keep him at your side.

2. An aggressive or bold puppy is very focused and usually moves straight ahead when walking. You want to be careful with a strong-headed and confident puppy - such pups can get territorial and possessive. You need to be aware of this type of possessive behavior developing. You can curb this behavior by placing him in a sit or down position at safety zones on the street when another puppy or dog approaches.

3. A happy-go-lucky puppy is happy to be at your side, and he will tend to pull from side to side. You need to anticipate his quick move of wanting to pull or jump up on people as a greeting.

4. A shy puppy may feel less sure of himself and will hold back if something frightens him. Be sensitive if he seems frightened. Place him in a safety zone to reassure him. This will give you distance between you and the distraction.

You don't want your puppy to have a negative experience from any new environment. By working in a positive manner with his temperament, he will respond more calmly and with self confidence to new environments.

Also be aware of your puppy's body language. It can get him in trouble with other dogs without you or your puppy knowing why. For example, if your puppy walks with a puffed-out chest, he may convey a cockiness that will receive a growl or a snap by another dog who sees your puppy as a threat to his territory. Or if your puppy is stalking low to the ground, you may think, "Gee, isn't this cute," but if your puppy approaches a territorial dog in this manner, the dog may read your stalking puppy as a challenge to his territory and snap at him. If this is your pup's nature, then it is even more important to move him aside to a safety zone, place him in the Sit position, and wait for the other dog to pass.
