As for pulling in the tests, the test is all about seeing how the dog reacts to surprises. They might make a loud bang. They have to walk up to another person and dog. They're left with a stranger while you walk away. While the goal is for them not to pull, unless your dog is exceptional, there's going to be some pulling. The ones that get over it quickly are the ones that pass.

I see but if you have the slip lead placed correctly...it's still not around their trachea...it sits much higher.
