LOOSE LEASH WALKING
In order to teach your dog to walk on a loose leash you will first need the following equipment and only this equipment. There is no easy quick fix/gimmick available except hard work between you and your dog. First a flat or martingale (with no chain) collar and a 6 foot leather leash with braided leather ends. In the case of puppies sometimes a Sensa-tions harness is recommended due to their pulling to help with their learning process to not pull. You do not ever want to use a retractable leash. This actually teaches the dog to pull and that pulling is rewarded with lengthening of the leash. It also creates constant tension on the leash which is a very bad thing as tension on leash causes tension in the dog. Any pulling a dog does is only done with the permission of the owner. Your dog cannot pull you unless you are allowing it. Think about it. How much do you...

I'll be the first to admit, I love puppies as much as the next person, especially boxer puppies, those cute little coneheads and wrinkly faces steal my heart..Having said that, I have also learned that there are alarming number of puppy mills and backyard breeders out there that sadly sell puppies that could have some serious issues later on.. Both healthwise and in behavior...When you pay a good amount of money for a pup, it is in your best interest as well as that pup to make sure you are getting the best you possibly can!
All of us have at one time or another have walked past a pet store window and seen a window full of cute puppies, have you ever stopped and considered where these cuties come from? Puppy mills...So what is a puppy mill? Anytime you buy from a pet store, you can be almost guaranteed those pups have come from a mill...A puppy mill is in the business of making money, no thoughts what so ever about the health of either...
