Dog walking issues

hi ricki, what kind of dog is sampson, or am i being stupid and you have said that already

Hi G. Yes he's a German Shep as another poster had mentioned.

Pebbles, good to hear the haltie collar is working. My dog is a rescue dog and was probably 2-3 when I got her and she was wild! and I invested in the training lessons
and got her a good collar and it has made all the difference in the world. Good luck to you

Thanks! I haven't had much time to work with him as I had a bad foot last week and this week we're all housebound with gastrointestinal something or another.

Has anyone ever tried this?  http://www.gentleleader.co.uk/

Our dog was a rescue (German Shepherd mix) and is quite a puller.  If a squirrel's in view, that's all she wrote.  The gentle leader worked a treat although it looks, hmm, cruel.  We stopped using it after my huz's daughter started calling it the gentle torture device.  That made us feel bad and ashamed.     But it did work.  I think we may go back to it.

And I can't remember what her name is...But there's a dog training lady on Channel 4(?) who has some good dog training ideas.  Victoria something or other.  I dunno, it's on our On Demand.  I call her the dog dominatrix lady.

Yes I bought a 'Halti' headcollar for Samson which is the same type of thing.

Victoria Sitwell and the show is called "It's Me or the Dog." I read in Radio Times that the wardrobe was the producers' choice, not hers.



A lot of her principles are the same as Cesar Millan's -- that a dog needs lots of exercise and to know who's in charge.

Yup.  That's her.
