Next, let me take you into this wonderful "training ground" and see how to make walking both fun and efficient.

Every time before going out, the dog is always eager to circle at the door, its tail wagging like a rattle, with eyes full of urgency saying "hurry up and go out." But don't rush; you can't be soft-hearted at this moment. First, call the dog over, have it sit obediently, and keep its eyes on you. This is not difficult; as long as you have its favorite treat in hand and give a gentle wave, its little eyes will immediately focus on you. Then, in your most serious yet gentle tone, say, "Sit!" If it obediently complies, immediately give it a small piece of treat, pat its head, and praise it: "Great!" This way, it will understand that listening to commands is a necessary "opening act" before going out.

Once it sits well, don't forget to check its collar and leash. If the collar is too tight, it will be uncomfortable while walking; if it's too loose, it can easily slip out. The leash should also be of good quality and the right length; otherwise, when it starts to run around, you might find yourself in a flurry. Once everything is ready, open the door and say in an excited tone, "Let's go!" The dog will understand that the walk has officially begun upon hearing this familiar command.

Once outside, the dog is like a wild horse, sniffing around, eager to investigate every leaf. At this point, you need to assert your "trainer" authority. First, stop walking and say in a calm and firm tone, "Come here!" If it doesn't respond, gently pull the leash to bring it back to your side. Once it stands obediently next to you, immediately reward it with a pat on the head or a small treat, letting it know that staying close to you is the safest and most correct choice.

Next, start walking slowly, but don't go too fast; after all, this is training, not a race. If the dog starts to run around again, stop and repeat the command "Come here." At first, it may feel impatient and even give you a little glare, as if to say, "I just want to look around, what's wrong with that?" But don't worry; just persist a few times, and it will understand that only by following you can it continue the walk.

To add some fun, you can set up some "small obstacles" along the walking route. For example, when passing a tree, you can have it walk around the tree; when encountering stairs, let it learn to go up and down. This way, it won't feel that walking is just monotonous; instead, it will be an adventurous "exploration" full of challenges.

On the walking route, there will always be various situations that require stopping, such as waiting for traffic lights or letting pedestrians pass. This is a great opportunity to train the dog to "wait." Every time you encounter a situation that requires stopping, have the dog sit down and use the command "wait" to tell it, "Don't rush, wait a moment." If it can sit still without moving, that's fantastic! Immediately reward it, letting it understand that waiting is a good habit.

At first, the dog may find waiting uncomfortable and even tug at your pant leg with its little paws, as if to say, "I can't wait!" But don't be soft-hearted; persist a few times, and it will understand that only by waiting obediently can it continue the walk.

Training a dog is not a boring task; as long as you cleverly use rewards, you can make training fun and efficient. For example, every time the dog follows a command, give it a treat or pat its head and praise it. This way, it will see training as a game rather than a chore.

You can also use some small toys as rewards, such as a ball or a frisbee. Every time the dog performs well, let it play for a while, which will encourage it to participate more actively in training. Moreover, the rewards can be varied; sometimes give treats, sometimes toys, and sometimes just a pat on the head to keep it feeling fresh.

Training a dog requires persistence; you can't fish for three days and sunbathe for two. Therefore, every walk should include training, even if it's just simple commands like "sit" or "come here." As long as you keep it up, you'll find that the dog becomes more obedient and understanding, and walking will become easier and more enjoyable.

Moreover, persistent training not only makes your dog better but also helps you become more patient and resilient. After all, training a dog is a long-term process that requires your dedication and effort. But when you see your dog becoming better because of your training, that sense of accomplishment is beyond words.

Every walk is a beautiful memory, so why not record the little moments of training? For example, take photos of your dog during training with your phone, or write a diary to document its progress and growth. This way, when you look back at these records, you'll realize that training a dog is not just a process but also a beautiful memory.

You can share these photos and diaries with friends and family, allowing them to witness your dog's growth together. Moreover, by sharing these experiences, you can gain more support and encouragement, making you more determined on the path of training your dog.

During the process of training a dog, there will inevitably be some "little rebellions." For example, it may suddenly refuse to follow commands or act spoiled, leaving you at a loss. At this moment, don't be soft-hearted; you need to firmly tell it, "No means no." If it still doesn't listen, temporarily stop the walk to let it understand that only by obediently following commands can it continue to enjoy the fun of walking.

If the dog suddenly gets distracted by something else, like a butterfly flying by, and rushes over, you need to react quickly, pulling it back with the leash and guiding it back to your side with the command "come here." At first, the dog may feel impatient and even glare at you, as if to say, "I just want to look around, what's wrong with that?" But don't worry; just persist a few times, and it will understand that only by following you can it continue the walk.

Taking your dog out for a walk not only exercises its body but also, through clever training, makes it smarter and more obedient. Turning walks into a training ground not only makes your dog-walking time more efficient but also deepens the bond between you and your dog. Next time you go out, why not try these methods and make your dog the most well-behaved "little star" in the neighborhood!
