Dexter progress
When it comes to walking your dog there are SO many different tools to choose from. And while I may recommend some tools over others, each dog and trainer will find what works best for them. Changing the tool will not immediately fix your walk, and there is always training to be done regardless of what you use, but there are some situations where some tools work better than others and will help in the training process!Dexter and Holly here are a great example of what finding the right tool and putting in the work with training can do to improve your walks! Dexter in the first clip is using a prong collar, and as you can see still pulled his mom and was putting a ton of pressure on the leash. In the second clip, Dexter is wearing an easy walk harness and has been training and practicing with Holly on their walks for about two months. You can see how much calmer he is, how he is looking at mom and checking in, and the nice loose leash! Dexter isn’t the only one who had to practice over those two months though as Holly worked on her own leash handling skills - learning to hold the leash in a leash lock and giving Dexter some slack on the leash to prevent frustration from Dexter - and learned the markers of when to praise Dexter and what to look for to reward him on. So proud of the progress this duo has made and can’t wait to continue to see them progress!
