I am reading this and thinking to myself that I hope you are NOT using collars. Harnesses are the only thing that I tell my new parents to use. Collars can put pressure on the trachea and we all have read the problems when that happens. So please switch to a harness and use a lightweight leash probably one of the adjustable ones. You have good control with that. Treats and praise are an absolute positively necessary part of training..
Dogs who have domination issues will want to control their progress so either jerk it out gently but firmly and use a bad tasting substance. I swear, I am like someone who just invented deodorant. I have it on everything that I do not want these brats to chew on.. |
