I have struggled with the Gentle Lead being mean and feeling bad like I can't control my lil' 6 lbs dog. Like you I have had Sebastian all his life and he is spoiled rotten. He is very protective with me so much so that he barks and growls at my kids when they come close to my bed. ..
The Gentle Lead has worked out GREAT its a miracle. Does anyone else use one? |
God Bless you for posting this- I feel SO alone in this- like I am the only Yorkie mama with a crazy baby!!!
I did speak to a trainer tonight- I really like her and agree with her philosophy. HOWEVER (and this is a BIGGIE!) she uses choke chains and that terrifies me. She said she would take Lexie for 10 days and work with her and then come to my house for several visits to train me (boy,apparently I need it!) I have got to get this under control. My son does have friends over and I live in constant fear she will bite.
