siberian_wolf Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Recently, Ive been trying to get my 3 to walk on the lead without pulling my arm out of socket! Before I used to permantly be trying to hold them back, hoping that they may learn to calm down but I found out, by watching the dog whisperer the other day, that this can actually make them stronger! I was looking at his techinque of making a quick, sharp pull back on the lead and at the same time do that "shhh" thing that ceasar does and then relax my arm back down and carry on. It didn't work with Marley or Gizmo but it worked wonders with Bandit! It has taken a while but yesterday when I took him out he did walk next to me with no pulling for about 5 minutes, which for Bandit is great. Well done Bandit :biggthumpup: Im still continuing it with all of them but Marley does seem to learn better with a clicker so I may get one and try that with Marley. Has anyone else tried ceaser's technique with thier Husky or Malamute? Did it work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well done bandit!!!!!!! I walk kimba on a harness do you think i should attach the lead to his collar or will it have the same effect with a harness?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberian_wolf Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I use a halti harness on gizmo which has an extra clip on it so you can attach it to either the collar or head collar. http://www.companyofanimals.co.uk/halti-harness.php http://www.petsathome.com/find/category-is-2+dog/category-is-2d+collars,+leads+and+tags/category-is-2D05+Plain/product-is-V00203 This is the lead that use with the harness onn Gizmo and we attach both ends onto the front of the harness so it put the point of control to the front of Gizmos chest which hasn't stopped him from pulling but it makes it alot easier to control him. At first I was a bit worried on using a harness on Gizmo as that's what is used when they race them but I have no regrets using a harness now. We did buy a head collar for Gizmo but he didn't like it at all so that idea went out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeptalker Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 i am trying cesears tips, and have had some fairly good sucess with the walking, coming home after they are a bit more tired is more sucessful as on the way there they are just too darn excited. when i have someone to walk them with me, it is even more sucessful. the ' tsssht' thing is good too.

siberian_wolf Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have to say my 3, especially Gizmo, is extremely excited when they first go out on their walk. They will calm down after they have had the first mad rush of adrenaline. Marley is not really much of a puller unless he is behind Bandit as he doesn't like being last.

Pirates of the caribbean Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi, I am always trying to use Ceasar's tecniques and find they really do work and I love his show. I think you just have to keep thinking where there is a will there is a way lol. Also, I had only been using a harness with my dogs and recently went to a training class where hey actually said that using a harness with a pulling type dog on walks will only make them pull more. Plus, I had been using an extendo lead. I have now bought a new training collar and lead for my boy and so will see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest problem is staying in the right frame of mind, but hopefully soon I will learn some techniques to stay in the right mind, then it should be much easier when thats dealt with!
