Why has the yellow one wearing the harness is it to make him or her to remember to walk to heel better mine is not good walking to heel at 2 years and 4 months any advice would be welcome.
Hi Keith, The Fox Red Lab (Archie) is wearing a harness because he pulled a muscle in his neck and a slip lead would aggravate this injury and prevent it from healing. As far as heel work is concerned, best to go somewhere where the smells and distractions are limited (closed car park or something like that). I use slip leads. There are lots of different methods I use this one - If your dog starts to pull immediately turn and go the other way, if he pulls again immediate turn and walk the other way, so on and so forth, keep doing this - overtime he'll get the message that pulling doesn't actually achieve anything and that you are in charge of which direction you go. Also don't inadvertently reward pulling, if your dog pulls as you as you take him to one of his favour areas, turn around and walk away, if you keep going then let him off the lead his pulling has achieved what he wants. Also, stick to one simple command dogs name and 'heel' don't over praise him if he starts to heel nicely need to avoid getting him excited, just a quick 'good lad ' will do - hope this helps :)
