It is hard to find a block in Wilton Manors without a dog on it, which makes this a great place to practice polite passing. Teach your puppy to look at you when another dog goes by, and reward that glance every time. Start across the street, then close the gap a little more each week. By the time your puppy is half grown, side-by-side sidewalk walks should feel easy.
Outdoor tables are part of the scenery along Wilton Drive. A puppy that can lie on a mat while you sip a coffee is a pleasure to have around. Practice with a folded towel at home first, rewarding every few seconds of calm. Then try a quiet weekday visit with a chew toy for backup. Patience here pays off all year.
The shaded side streets are perfect for first leash outings, and nearby parks give room for recall games on a long line. Keep greetings short, ask owners before saying hello and head home before your puppy is overtired. For a puppy package in the area, general estimates start around $150 and can reach $350.
