Jessie and Thor went downtown today and walked on the rail trail. They did very good although they were much more excited among the different distractions. They still listened to their commands but it took a little more persistence. When you walk them in public areas, start off by giving them several commands near the car. Get them under good control before you continue your walk into the more distracting areas. Above all, maintain calmness and confidence. Require that they obey each command you give them. If you are consistent in this, each time you take them into a public place, they will be easier to control.
