We wear collar for our tags, but use a harness to walk. Tonight when we walked I stopped when he jerked and pulled and said no, bad walk. When he seemed calmer I started walking by saying good walk. Repeating as needed. When this failed to get his attention back on me we turned and walked back the way we just came. He did much bette, so less stressfull for both of us. I only rewarded with treats when he walked a nice distance correctly. Hopefully he continues to respond well. I know he is smart as a whip, he picked up sit, down and stay quickly. He has evenbeing doing great recently with his barking. Trying not to ovrrwhelm the guy with too many lessons to learn at once. Thank you again all for your advice it has been helpful. |
