    In the dog world, whoever is in front during a walk is the leader of the pack, or the alpha dog. The leader can set the tone for the rest of the dogs. This can be a good tone or a bad tone, depending on the personality of the dog.

    On the Other: Aggressive Dogs Should not be in Front

    An aggressive, anxious or high-strung dog should not be allowed to take the lead in a walk. This type of dog needs to learn to be a follower in order to relax, according to Dog Breed Info Center. It is important that any dog does not walk in front of a human. The dog will then think of himself as your leader as well. Aggressive dogs, especially, should not be allowed to be in the front. This is encouraging their bad behavior.

    Bottom Line

    Many behavioral issues in dogs stem from a bad walk or from no walk at all. When a dog is in front during a walk or is not being walked at all, the dog is not entering a relaxed and following state, according to Dog Breed Info Center. By always being in the front or by not being walked at all, a dog can become anxious and high strung.
