Keeping your dog safe near traffic is one of the most important skills you can teach. In this episode, we dive into car and road awareness training — from staying back from moving vehicles to pausing and looking before crossing the street. Learn how to:

• Teach your puppy to create safe distance from cars
• Use cues like “back” or “wait” to prevent accidents
• Reinforce calm, focused behavior around roads
• Practice real-world safety in your neighborhood and beyond

Whether you live in a busy city or a quiet suburb, these strategies will help your dog feel confident, aware, and safe around traffic.
