[quote=Anonymous]Congrats on the dog! A few tips as you get the hang of dog ownership: Even if you have a yard, it's good to take your dog for walks so the two of you get the hang of heeling/enforcing heeling, your dog gets new smells, and you learn how your dog reacts to other dogs. When you're approaching a new dog, always ask: "Can s/he say hello?" If the other person and dog have already crossed into the street, you don't need to ask because you already have your answer. Stick close even if you've been given the OK to say hello. Sometimes dogs change their mind, and you want to be able to make a quick, tidy exit. Also, to ensure a quick, tidy exit, make sure the dogs are at the ends of their leashes when they say hello. Given some slack, a lot of dogs will get their leashes tangled together. A lot of owners will act as though there's nothing that can be done about it, and then there's a whole Three Stooges routine as they try to get the leashes untwisted. [/quote]
