Good to know, might have to try it. Gracie pulls for the first 5 minutes of her walk as she’s very excited but settles in for the rest. I’ve been using a harness with lead clipped to the front rather than the top and it helps, but at just one year and 70 pounds she’s pretty strong especially when cats are sighted. Been to 2 obedience classes out of 10 scheduled, she’s very chill and trainer loves her. I signed her up to get her under control when she meets other dogs and people, she’s just overly friendly and thinks everyone loves her as much as she loves them. Also need to work on recall. Big plus of dog training Is there’s an agility course to learn on after class and they are just finishing installation on a diving pool. Should be ready in another week.
Rigby is great with people and kids but aggressive toward other dogs. The new headcollar stops him from lunging at other dogs, too. It doesn't seem cruel at all. He doesn't like it much, but is rapidly associating it with going on walks so he's getting ok with it.
Yeah, our bassett puppy is always calculating how to get another snack...We’ve had Labs in the past, and the tennis ball had a life expectancy of a few hours. Squeaky toys being similar. Now our Toller is 8, a smaller dog (similar to a Border Collie) with what you’d think to be a more delicate mouth. That is deceiving. That tennis ball is crushed in minutes. Squeaky toys don’t stand a chance. And brains? This guy does calculus. Does your guy do calculus?
You could be a rich man if you found a buyer for those truffles. BTW, all dog owners, those foxtails are out!
