I really want to get this down, as I want our walks to be enjoyable for both of us. I use a harness because of the fear of a collapsed trachea, but I read that harnesses are very ineffective for dogs who pull, and I'm wondering if that's part of the problem. Any advice? |
I brought my now almost ten months old yorkie girl to piupy classes and she just graduated from advaced class. I brought her to PetSmart for the classes and it tok a while for her to learn to stop pulling. I did use te stopping method and now she rarely pulls (only if shes a person or other dog). It did take a few months to train her though. I guess you just have to be patient
and this is my very first post on this site, im very new. Um, how do you make a normal post? like not quoting someone?
