I don't know if you all know this but I have been having a hard time with loose leash walking with maggie. I haven't been able to walk her without a gentle leader. The past week I have been working with her to walk loose leash. She will walk just her collar fine with my husband but not me. Well anyway today something clicked in her brain. I unhooked her from the harness and took it off. Then I walked her with just her collar. No pulling and walked by my side. She even looked at me for direction! yay!! I might need to bring treats or something for the end of the walk, but she was so good!

That's awesome Erica! I really need to buckle down and get Willow walking better.

That's fantastic! Well done, Erica.

That's great! Congrats I love it when it finally clicks in their brains, it's like their ah! moment.

That´s cool. Well she finally realized that things are easier for both sides if she is doing what is expected

Hooray!! \o/

I have a gentle leader also, and I think I gave up too soon. The excuse that I, ummm, made up, is "You can't take the pull out of a Husky!" (or Malamute) ...But you have proven me wrong, lol

Congratulations! Great job!

Congrats! Still working on my should be pulling a sled lab lol!

Congrats Erica! I started early with a martingale collar, now we are working on perfecting off leash

Congrats.. How come that never happen to me? The moment the halti is off, Titus pulls. Just got back from the park with my pants covered in mud. Today I decided to use the front clip harness. Lycan just walked beside me without a leash as usual. Everything was fine until he saw an off leash husky. That husky in my neighborhood is always off leash and he's 2 years old. I've been seeing that dog for a while now. I was able to control Titus previously with a halti. Today without the halti, he dragged me down.
Titus uses a front clip harness during training sessions and he doesn't pull. Once outside, everything is gone.
