I know what everyone is going to say...yorkie...collapsed trachea...honestly there was only a second of using it...no tugging and pulling. She is fine!
She did SO well...and she is SO manageable now. Funny...I guess it was the mother / pack leader thing. I never used it again and she is still FINE.
Do you think I should? Honestly, it is *not*, not not not safe to have Ambrey on a leash right now....not bc she is aggressive, like I keep saying (lol), but bc we can't contain her forward movement - she is SUPER strong, not exaggerating. {I mean really, another wolf/dog/alpha would use the neck to "communicate" strongly, if needed...}

I really need advice here. The rescue does have a behavioralist / trainer, so I will get him on board w/ us too - bc she needs to be worked with before her forever home, the TURDESS .

I'm just a little lost w/ this kind of power...I should probably look in Training too...I bet there is already good stuff in there...
