| Pulling!!!!!
Since my last post I have really been concentrating on stopping Nina's mouthing and
I HAVE seen improvement. She will still try,
but is not as persistant about it and will stop after being corrected. So I am really happy about that. Tonight we had class and
it's funny because alot of her littermates are there and she is the most energetic,
outgoing puppy there. I was told that she was the runt of 7 and as a small puppy she was always going after the other puppies - especially the biggest ones! It gives me some insight into her personality. Anyway,
last week she did exceptionally well and it was only our second class - this week she was a bit more hyper and out of foceus (don't know why) but still did well. In fact the trainer singled her out of the class
and said she is going to do REALLY well in the future based on what her sees now. I questioned her "hyperness" and did not seem at all concerned - in fact he indicated it may be an asset in the future for certain things. Anyway, before this gets too long, my question is what is the best method to
handle her pulling on her leash?! She is getting stronger daily and when all riled
up is getting harder to control. ( I AM
practicing with the commands.) I am petite
and easy to drag around and would like to get a handle on it before she is 100 lbs.!!!  |
