If your dog is a puller, don’t let him pull you! As he attempts to pull you, don’t let your arm extend all the way out, which is enabling him to pull. Keep your elbow bent and tucked in, and when he starts to pull, don’t let the elbow straighten and pull back. If this is done enough times, it should help… it may not eliminate the pulling, but the dog will not pull as hard. |

Always have a plan for keeping your dog close, safe and secured when summer road tripping.
Try the D2G Hitch’N Leash, which retails for under $20. Keep your dog safe from wandering off alone during a pit stop at a rest-area or from crashing your neighbors’ site at the campgrounds.  This leash has a handy caribiner hook so you can attach it to almost any object to keep your best friend secure. Separate d-ring clips make it easy to adjust your lead as needed from 6″ to 2″ to provide more control and it gives you plenty of room to wrap around any object. The soft foam grip on the handle provides ultimate comfort. |

Training can get frustrating or intense and you need to keep in mind that your physical strength should never come into play. The leash and collar are not a grab bar or weapon for you to jerk, grab or to pull on. They are there for guidance, as gentle reminders to the dog of what you’re asking him to do. Don’t be influenced by trainers you see on television who use the leash in a punishing manner – this is frowned upon by the best trainers and can damage your dog’s neck. |
