Walking your poop shooters....

We have used the gentle leader many times in the past, and they work alright! After Bella chewed thru the 3rd leader, I decided not to buy another! Now I simply use her collar, but I run the strap of her lead under her left front leg when I walk her! Dogs don’t like to be redirected, and any pulling by her now redirects her towards the left and pulls her head down! When the bride walks her, which is almost never, she allows the lead and collar to go to the top of her back, which is where dogs like it to be, because they are natural pullers. Any collar or harness that does not pull their head down, and allows the leash to be on the top is never going to stop them from pulling, only increase their desire to pull!

I have spent hours researching the behavior of dogs, because I figured if we were getting a dog, I wanted it to be trained right! We have one of the best trained dogs I’ve ever seen, all done by simply living in the dogs world, and using the dogs natural behavior as a tool against them! Never try to conform a dog to live in your world, you must change your behavior, not theirs! I know it sounds crazy, but it works, if you are astute enough to recognize how that works!!
