Why you shouldn't take your dog for a walk at its first request: a note for pet owners

Sometimes it becomes immediately clear from a dog's behavior that the animal wants to go outside.
Does your pet lunge at the door? Whine? Jump around the owner and wag its tail?
Most likely, this indicates that your four-legged friend needs a walk.
In situations like these, some people "give in," immediately grab the leash and take the dog outside.
However, going out for a walk with your pet at its first “requirement” is a gross mistake.
Why you shouldn't do this
Because in this case, a person will most likely make his pet capricious and spoiled.
It is possible that the dog will feel like it is the boss in the house and will stop obeying its owner.
You need to take your dog for a walk at the same time every day. Following a schedule is a guarantee that the animal will become obedient.
When throwing a pet at the door, it is necessary to pull it back. All other "requirements" should simply be ignored. But there is one exception.
What to do if your dog whines
There is no need to pay attention to the “capricious” whining.
But if it is clear that the whining dog feels guilty, but does not stop making sounds, then the problem is most likely not a matter of whim or spoiledness.
Apparently, the dog really needs to go outside. In such a situation, the owner should still make a concession to the pet.
But then the time interval between the dog's whining and the owner's response should gradually increase. Eventually, everything should come to walks strictly according to schedule.
