But, we all know what a Yorkie can do with a collar, or at least mine, just pull until she starts choking herself! When we head out, she is exciting and wants to go ahead and pulls to go faster than I do. I read about treating them at the calf of your leg, but she is a long way down there!!! Any suggestions? |
They make two different types of anti-pulling halters. You could also look for any halter with a place to connect the leash in front, where the dogs breast bone is. What about a head halter. I've also heard that changing directions(180 degrees) everytime the dog pulls works very well.
