I've been on a bit of a journey with tug. For a while, I thought tug was the reason Charlie was crunching things up, tennis balls and stuff. I...
Well, Angela asked a question - if she didn't want different answers then she should have added "please only reply to me if you think it's ok I...
But...but...the reason Dex doesn't walk well in a group of dogs is because he doesn't often have chance to walk in a group of dogs! So, when...
The one that was on the video, and I have not managed, is to roll the rings! Charlie would seriously love that. I think you might need smooth...
I've done a few more off lead walks in the quieter areas. The first two dogs on the vid are from last night - I called him away when he kept...
Can you get rid of edges? So that's something like standing a pen on the bedding so the edges are outside of the pen. Or tucking vet bed round...
Yay! That's lovely. He wasn't letting that young whippersnapper Bramble have his puller ring! :D Fair old turn of speed there to snatch it off...
Overcoming excitement by training is called proofing your training! :) Although I do agree growing up and becoming less silly helps a lot.
A back fastening harness does not. It doesn't nothing to help train the dog. Although some people find this strange - that's why lots of people...
Here we go...should I respond by posting the Glasgow Dog Trainer on why these devices are aversive? No. Let's not. Let's assume they are safe and...
Well (unfortunately) Charlie would agree with you. But at least a harness is safe. God knows what the snapping action would be on a dog's neck if...
I'm sure Dex is a very, very cool dog though. :cool: Far too cool to have his head trussed up like a Christmas turkey. :cool:
The thing is, sure, there are a few reactive dogs that need a headcollar for safety - or whatever, the handler is physically not up to a strong...
They are also really uncool, you may as well wear a T-shirt printed with "yes, I failed at training loose lead waking". :D Yes, yes, I know...
Hello there, and a very warm welcome to the forum! How exciting that you have a new puppy arriving! The first thing is, do you agree with...
I have a story, Angela...the first time I walked with a certain pack of dogs one of the classes I go to, it was awful. We were walking through...
They are surprisingly good aren't they? I think it's because there is so much you can do with them, it just adds up to being a really exciting toy.
We so need some more pics/vids of our dogs with puller rings on their heads! :D:D:D
It's true! It's true! :)
I do wonder if you expect a bit too much....:) Charlie will definitely fuss on his lead in a new, exciting place and it will take me some time to...
