From everything I read on this breed is that there stubborn and hard headed to train. Is this the reason why so many are abused and surrendered?? This why people let the cuteness get in the way of who should be the pack leader with these dogs!! |
LOL.
Yup, I am so lazy. I don't train my dog at all.
I don't worry about being my dog's 'pack leader' because I don't believe there is such a thing. We have an amazing communication based on a bond, love, trust, and mutual respect and understanding.
Having a leash dragging, in an 'open' unfenced area, not near a road, is simply an added security.
99% of the time, Jackson obeys. We work a lot on recall. But, there's that 1% you never know about. A rabbit darts by, or whatever, having a leash to step on makes it 10000x easier than trying to catch up to a dog on four legs while you only have two.
Don't see what having a dragging leash has to do with being a pack leader.
