Back to basics leash training

After being pulled down the street by a 21kg crazy hound dog in Hythe on the weekend, it seems like time to go up the ante on leash training. Just in time, the Kumfi Juster training lead arrived in the post. So up and down the hallway we went. CT for loose leash which he does really nice inside. So it seems to be when he's out and about that the crazy hound sniffer dog appears.


Tonight it's puppy class again. Not had much time to work on wait because of the extra leash training I've been doing. No prizes for guessing who's going to be pulled into the hall with the most distracted dog in the group.

Naughty moment of the day was when he decided to pull the dog bed across the floor with the cat sat on it. Cat wasn't amused.

New harness

Wow! That has to be the fastest delivery of a quality item I've had in a while. Ordered a brown fleecy harness from Dog Games in size 4 one afternoon and it arrives the next day. It's lovely soft fleece and I really like the fact it unclips on both sides, so need to thread paws through, which makes getting it on a wriggling puppy much easier. So far, on the two outings we've had in it, it seems to have improved the pulling. At least he's not half strangling himself to death enroute to wherever he thinks it's reeeeeeeeeally important we get to NOW!

People have often commented on his collar and lead when we're out. They're from Accolade Leathercraft. I got the platted 3/4" flat lead and a 1" plain flat collar, both in brown leather. They've worn in really well and the colour is lovely. I'm not getting Grey a correction collar or harness and am aiming to try to train him not to pull rather than use equipment that would restrict his movement.
