EVERY TIME THE DOG PULLS TOO HARD.. STOP.
hER GOAL IS TO GET HOME, BUT HER HANDLER NEEDS TO DETERMINE THE RULES FOR
HER TO GET THERE. IN THIS CASE , THE RULE NEEDS TO BE A SOFTER PULL. ANOTHER
IDEA MAY BE THAT the dog sees getting to the house as the end goal, complete
with dinner too! I would suggest having her work PAST her house and then
return.. if the pulling becomes too hard then walk past the house again..until
you
get a softer more controlled pull.. not an , im excited and i cant wait to
get home, are we there yet type of reaction.. She may need to be dilligent on
this also for a while.. We have to remember that we are the ones who make the
rules for the games that we play with our dogs that most others call"work".
