Since a few weeks I'was watching the 'dog wisperer' and tried to use his methods to manage my little gang of four.
Before it was a hectic stressful time to get them ready for walkies with unbearable barking, jumping up, grawling and snapping at each other and leash chewing. Once outside they ran in all directions crocheting their leashes to 'gordian knots', dragging me around and barking at everything and everybody...
Since I try to be 'calm and assertive' and use 'no talk, no eye contact and no affection' it got better by the day. We have no crazy chaos anymore when I get the leashes and harnesses and everydoggie waits until it's his/her turn. Today I was even able to walk Maggie off leash at the park!!!!!
I'm sooooo proud of them now! Maximus, Mikki and Minnie walk nicely side by side without pulling and Maggie heads everything up on a retractable leash.
Oh and Minnie learned yesterday how to roll over!!!
Sorry that I just HAD to brag...
