The Rucksack Walk Concept

The Rucksack Walk is a unique training exercise designed to build confidence in dogs while promoting a strong bond with their owners. To start this walk, new puppy owners are encouraged to use a rucksack filled with engaging items, including enticing treats and novelty scents. This approach allows the dog to explore their environment at their own pace while still maintaining a connection with the owner through treats that are tossed rather than handed over directly. This method not only prevents overwhelming the dog but also reinforces eye contact and attention during walks.
