Hey guys! Second post here. One of my old friends was walking down the road today, being absolutely dragged by their new Great Dane / Lab mix. They asked me if I knew any methods of solving the issue. I walked around the block with him, and lord have mercy, this was the strongest, most impulsive...

Hello, my name is Maddie and I recently adopted a 3-year-old Husky/Collie/Golden mix. She came from a family, and is very well behaved in the house. She knows the commands come and down/off very well, however, my troubles come especially when trying to walk her. Her previous family did not walk...

So I have had my little Leo in training since basically 12 weeks old. The training has been in Petco puppy classes because I wanted him to get socialization down too. He is actually freakishly brilliant and has learned all commands very well, training at home isn't as much as it SHOULD be...

Ok- This is probably the quest for the impossible- but I am wondering if anyone has found a harness that works well for a dog that pulls? We are def. still trying to train her out of this, but sometimes if the treat isn't of high enough value or if the cat/squirrel is just too tempting Tandy...

My wife and I recently got a new Golden Retriever puppy a little more than a month ago and have been training her ourselves. She is about 14 weeks old and is doing well, but I was hoping to get some advice from some seasoned veterans in terms of making the walks more enjoyable. I've read a...

Hey everybody! Thanks to the fabulous advice from forum members, Baron and I are going to investigate the wonderful world of dog scootering and possibly bikejoring. I just ordered his harness from Alpine Outfitters as well as the double scooter line, though it will be awhile before we can...

I suppose this is a appropriate for training, but this has something to do with exercise as well (a big interest of mine). Exercise, I think, is tremendously helpful in making life with a dog livable. Unfortunately, we are sluggish, unfit sloths by comparison to even the most average, plain...

I'm not new to dog ownership (my first dog passed away just before christmas of a sudden illness) and so me and my family adopted a new puppy, a stray from a local reserve. Shortly after getting her we noticed she had a limp( mid january) and the vet told us she had a severe knee injury. early...

I just got my puppy about a week ago, and things are going great. Potty training is coming along fine, I've been teaching him basic manners and he walks good on a leash for a puppy his age. Every time he pulls we stop until he sits and the leash is loose. My problem is, when I take him out of...

I have a 6 month old Great Dane/Italian Mastiff and he is great except on walks. I live on a street with about 7 dogs and whenever we go for a walk, if he sees a dog he pulls to go over to them. He has broken several leashes from pulling. He is around 110 pounds and growing quickly and I just...

Hello, I always hear about the usual northern sled breeds, but what other breeds might be suitable and interested to be trained in these kinds of winter activities? Not for racing or actual work, but just to help foster a bond and exercise them physically and mentally.

Hi! I hope this works this is my first post. I adopted a Black Lab/Weim mix from a shelter about two months ago. He is (best guess of the shelters) a one year old. He wasnt potty trained and didnt have any manners. He is getting better he knows how to sit, shake, lay down, stay and doesnt...

I posted this in General dog forums but I think I should have posted it here. I'm trying to teach my Australian shepherd to pull me on ski's. Right now he's only done sleds and will only pull if people urge him on or he's pulling with a pack. He won't pull if you're behind him and tell him to...

I'm trying to teach my Australian shepherd to pull me on ski's. Right now he's only done sleds and will only pull if people urge him on or he's pulling with a pack. He won't pull if you're behind him and tell him to go. Me:"Hike, let's go, let's go, Hike." Jet:*why should I?* Me:"Because I...

My husband and I are looking for any help that we can get. We adopted our dog from a shelter about 6 weeks ago. He is a hound/lab mix (40 lbs or so) and is about 18 months old. Our dog has definitely never been walked on a lead before. We live in a small condo and have to walk him outside in...

Has anyone used the Walk your dog with love harness?

I thought I had already posted this, but it hasn't shown up, and I'm still figuring out how to navigate through the site. I apologize if this is a repost. I looked through the sticky threads, and I was left with these questions. I just got a 3-year old from the pound, 65 lbs, obviously part...
