My boys are the same way and I've tried everything I can think of... distracting them with treats, shaking a can of pennies to startle them, gentle nudging them with my foot like Ceasar demonstrates, hired a trainer and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I don't even want to take them for a walk. This weekend I bought the Gentle Leader hoping that it will help. We've only used them once, yesterday and I can't really tell so I need to do more "experimenting" with it. I'm just petrified that they will wriggle out of them and run into traffic or meet the wrong dog and get into fight. I just put a post up to see if anyone uses gentle leader and whether or not their dogs have gotten out of it... |
