| Sarge, I am trying to figure something out... Is your pup pulling on the lead when you are walking? If this is the case, I have a solution which was taught in our Puppy Preschool class. Be certain that your pup has a flat buckle collar on to do this. If your pup starts to pull on the lead, give a good sharp jerk on the lead and say, "Easy". By 'good sharp jerk', I mean that you have to really get the pup's attention, but don't break his neck, obviously. This worked WONDERS with Tara; we learned this corrective tool a week ago, and it took me about 2 days of using it and now, all I have to do is say "Easy" and Tara stops pulling and is within 3 feet of me.
