Awww thank you Carol -- I know you and Buddy can do it. The main reason you do the "
Crazy Walk
" is to get you baby in the habit of watching you and paying attention to what direction you will be going. When he "hits the end of the leash" a time or two because he is charging forward and you are suddenly walking in the opposite direction, he will get the idea that he needs to pay attention to avoid getting stopped in his tracks.
This is a beautiful example of natural consequences that he can understand. If he doesn't pay attention, he will come to an unpleasant stop at the end of the leash.
CAUTIONARY NOTE:
Be absolutely certain that the harness is adjusted properly so that the center chest strap is in the mid chest region well away from the delicate Trachea area!
