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. |
When he starts pulling I stop and walk in the opposite direction but as soon as I turn to go where we are going he pulls again so I must admit I do pull back on this lead now and then out of frustration most of the time the class didnt get any futher than t he sit, down, leave and stay then it ceased. We do not have a petsmart in this country I dont think im in the UK. Funnily I was talking to lady who came into work today and she mentioned the halti so im going to get one tomorrow after work and give it a go, thanks for the advice.
