• The theme of the leash : when you go out for a walk it is also a time when the dog will always put your character to the test. Keep in mind that, especially at the beginning of having your Dalmatian, when you walk he should never get in front of you because this is a sign of dominion; Try to always go by your side or behind you. If you get ahead of you, give him a gentle pull on the strap and stay still so he understands that you will not continue walking if he does not obey you. At this time it is also important to reinforce positively the behavior of your dog, so, always bring treats or prizes with you.

• Enter the house : the moment you return home from the walk, who enters first is also for the Dalmatian the dominant person. You will see that he always gets very close to the door and will always try to enter the house before anyone else, but this behavior must be corrected and you must pass first .
