Dog Crossing Road in Tel-Aviv
Ok, so maybe many of you think that you won't be sending your dog out to buy some groceries or get his own doggy treats at the store anytime soon. But training your dog to cross the road doesn't necessarily mean that you will not be there alongside your dog when he/she is crossing the road. As a matter of fact, many people who have to traverse with their pets realize that they may have to walk several distances after parking and will just ending up crossing several roads with their dogs. So what does one actually do to train their dog to cross the road to practice dog road safety? Well, let's take a look.

Teach Dog Road Safety
If you have any pet that you walk with from time to time, road safety must be an integral part of your dogs training. When you train your dog to cross the road you will find it to be very fulfilling.  This type of training teaches your dog discipline and not to be too distracted by other animals such as cats and other dogs when making a cross. Some untrained dogs may try to dash across the road on the sight of other dogs and cats and you may not be strong enough to hold him back with the leash.

Teach Dog Not To Be distracted

Well, this lesson is not gonna be a walk in the park as teaching you dog to be focused is a very daunting task especially when he sees so many things happening around him. So let's say you are at the crossing waiting to get to the other side with your dog. You dog then sees a stray dog dash across the road. His curiosity peaks and he starts barking and looks like he is just about ready to make a dash himself.  When you see this, call upon the dogs name and let him refocus, point to the stop sign and say "Wait" several times to the dog.  If he is excited and still barking his head off, give the command "Stop or No" to have him settle down. Then when it is time to cross the road, Say "Go" and point to the direction of crossing. Do not let your dog cross out of the designated pedestrian crossing at any time. Teach him to stay within the lines.

Teaches the Dog Discipline
One thing the dog must have before even venturing out on the road is some sort of discipline. You must have full control over your pet before you decide to go roaming outdoors. Full control doesn't mean you place the animal inside a strap Jacket and pull him along in a trolley. It simple means that the animal must acknowledge you as the boss dog and obeys the commands you give him. Commands such as "Stop, Come, Stay, Wait." Those are the basic dog training commands.


Training Your Dog To Cross The Road Techniques Summarized:
  1. Ensure you have control over the dog
  2. Have your dog focus on the crossing and not other things
  3. Ensure that the leash is firmly gripped in your hands
  4. Have the dog acknowledge when it is time to cross the road
  5. Cross the Road Safely With Your Dog.
