My 4month-old pug is very active, inquisitive and loves to eat
The problem is, when I walk him, he looks down and tries to eat things
like leaves, twigs, cigarette butts, wrappers and even bugs on the sidewalk.
Every time he is about to eat something, I pull the lead not him to reach it, saying NO.
but sometimes too late. In a 10 minute walk, I have to pull the lead 20times or so.
When he ignores things (this occasionally happens), I praise him verbally or with treats.
I have been doing this for a few weeks so far, but he hasn't been able to catch on yet.
Are there any better ways?
I'd appreciate any advice!!
