I think I am the one who needs to go to training class. I think it should be called, new puppy owner class, cause we are the ones that need to know how to show our dogs what we want. I have been trying all kinds of things to teach Quin loose leash walking. She always pulls ahead and I keep the leash by my side and gently pull her back to my side. So she will walk beside me but gradually get faster and I have to pull the leash tight so she comes back. Well today as she was walking beside me, I started to say YES every time she was where I wanted her to be and I payed very close attention to her walking and as she figured out what I wanted she would walk ahead but as soon as the leash had no slack she would let up and walk slower so as soon as that happened I said YES I think we may have this figured out:) she is so smart:)
