Are you guilty of using your phone while walking your dog? This common habit could actually be driving your dog crazy and keep you from connecting with them.
Not only are you missing out on bonding time with your pup, there could be risky safety factors on a walk you are ignoring while you're distracted on your phone. Things like: other dogs approaching, people, cars, potentially dangerous things your dog might eat.
Paying attention to you dog, their cues and your surrounding will allow you to be proactive instead of reactive if something happens.
