Stop leash pulling?QUESTION: How do I stop my dog from pulling on the leash? answered by Marjie Alonso ANSWER: Pulling on leash is a behavior almost all of us encounter. The best way to stop it is to make a promise to yourself and your dog that he will never again get anywhere by pulling on his collar. Period! And keep a log to track your progress. Did you get two steps this time without pulling? Ten steps? A half a block? Progress feels slow at first, but keeping a log will show you how far you've really come (and help you to notice when you've forgotten to train). Practice really does make perfect. However, the minute his leash gets clipped back on to his regular collar, you're back to the no pulling rule--and that rule can't be broken. Consistency, practice, and praise will get you where you want to be.

ZOOMBACK? ANYONE USED IT?
It looks pretty cool. Has anyone had any experience with it? I'd be afraid my dog would lose her collar! |
