| Re: Pulling on the lead
I just don't like the prong collars, never have since a trainer years back put one on my sheltie and nearly ruined him and he hated training after that. It took another trainer, no prong, to get him back to his happy self again. It's just difference of opinion about the pinch collars.
When Khori basically got to that age he went into a Halti. It wasn't forever until I was able to get him to know that walking nicely was a better choice. I can walk him on a flat collar, but I always have the halti with me, incase a situation comes up unexpected. He weighs 145 lbs. very strong, and I am 5'1.
What do you do when he starts pulling? Do you keep walking, pull back on him, stop? How were you taught in your classes with him or they hadn't gotten that far before they closed down?
Do you have a PetSmart in the area? They do training there. You would get all of your basics taught to you that you need. |
