shanetez1 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Echo is now walking much better on her leash and a real sense of enjoyment follows, so proud to walk with her being so good. thanks to everybody for your suggestions and advise your all stars x x x. however im not even tempted any more to get her a play friend as for now i think the one is more then enough! considering its a ten minute struggle with her if i need to pop out without her because she tells me off something rotten!!! even when i come back ten minutes later its as if she hasn't seen me in weeks and goes crazy with the real wind up her bum! gotta love em!

shanetez1 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 we did the whole boring and i mean boring approach of not walking till u do it nice!!! to say i felt a prize twat doesnt do it justice! it took 13 days (for hours a day) for her to finally get the whole idea plus the odd treat WHILE it was working well she still pulls but only when she wants to say hi to another dog or pair of legs lol. she still loves being off lead more tho and wont leave my side, but couldnt do that all the time as i WOULD NEVER take the risk if it was a public place with cars noises ect.. so you always need to have them trained on leash as well as off.

Val (Zebedee) Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Terri, sounds like you & Echo are making big strides forward with the training, though she still is only 5 months old & is naturally nosey! Keep up the good work & let us know how you progress, xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 well done Terri keep it up xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Great job. The real benefit is, that you and Echo have bonded even closer. She respects you more, and that is also a very big plus. Many more walks with your best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
