Patience and support. That's all it takes. Today I walked my dog Spot for the 1st time on the leash. It took us one and half hour to go to the park. As a fitness coach, I encouraged him all the time, trying to distract him when he didn't want to move his paws anymore. On the way home, Spot was proud to hold his leash in his mouth and shaked his tail all the time. I kept praising his effort and hugged him. He got back home in only 20min (!!) without pulling on the leash.

We all need to be supported, I thought it's funny to show you through this experiment with my dog that most of the improvement come from the support you can get from others. A good Personal Trainer is someone who encourages his client and makes them seek for more improvement.
