It is very important that you master the structured walk.

Under a normal walk, where your dog is walking you…your dog is in charge of the walk.  As such, your dog is also in charge of the security of the pack.

Under a structured walk, your dog is UNDER YOUR CONTROL at all time.  When you have done a structured walk properly, your dog should be in a much more calm and submissive state of mind.
