City dogs can get really excited when it comes time for walkies. How many times have you opened the door and Poochy has bolted through and is in the hallway or out on the front porch? Not only is this a problem of safety, it can be a huge headache if you were trying to leave without Poochy.
Teach your dog to sit before entering or exiting your front door. All doors for that matter. Once your dog learns that he has to sit politely for the door to open you will have a more sane start to your walk.
Tip for the day:
If you have trouble getting your dog to sit back from the door you can install a gate. This works if you have a hallway toward your front door. Otherwise you can train your dog to wait in his crate until you are ready to go. This can help tame the Houdini in your pooch.
