This video shows why we were more than willing to consider other techniques for walking your dog...
We mentioned in a previous post that we are trying to train our dogs to act better when walking them on a leash. The article describing the techniques is here. Abby is still a pro at it. Ginger still resists if you are pulling on her to stay back behind you, but when you give her a little slack, she'll walk by your side (with the occasional stop and "Get back!" reminder every few steps).
This method of dog walking has made walks much more enjoyable...as long as the dogs are not extremely energetic. When they are going absolute bonkers, there is just no way to harness that energy into good behavior and a stress-free walk. The solution is to just let them drag you to the park without getting hit by a car or dislocating your shoulder and let them run their energy out with their tennis ball. The walk home from the park is always more relaxing...
