But thanks for the tip
Being walked by someone doesn't seem like a big deal, but the dog has to be comfortable enough to do it. It prepares him for later in life for when you have to leave him at the vets, leave him with a friend when you're out of town, or your house is on fire and someone is trying to walk your dog out, etc.
