Busy weekends bring crowds to the pier and the beach, which is a lot for a dog to handle. Start with off-peak visits, keep a short leash and reward your dog for looking at you instead of the crowd. If your dog tends to pull toward food smells, practice leave it at home first.
Canals and docks are common in neighborhoods farther inland. A firm wait at the edge of the lawn keeps a dog from darting toward the water. Seawalls can be slippery and some waters hold wildlife, so a short leash is smart near any edge.
Hot afternoons call for early and late walks. A private lesson, usually priced at $75 to $150, can help you set routes and timing, and home visits, around $100 to $200, can focus on your own block.
Estimates for planning only. Prices vary by trainer, dog and market.
