thats what i use now... but it doesnt work for me at all

when he has been training with the halti, i havent walked him with it. i guess he just doesnt like the feel of it. I have used the gentle leader harness, but i guess it hasnt been working because he wasnt trained. Are there other, non expensive harnesses that i can use to train him? (im willing to s...

well, i bought this dog training book and it listed several steps to introduce them to the head collar. 1st it said to click and treat the dog for sniffing the halter. 2nd it said to click and treat the dog for sticking his nose through it. 3rd, when he does it willingly, while hes nibbling at a big...

i have read in a variety of places (the forums and dog training books) that head halters (gentle leader's halti) are really great for dogs, instead of collars. I am trying to train my dog to walk with a head halter on, but he refuses to wear it.I have been training him for a few weeks, but no progre...

he is 9. hes a mix breed, we think blue heeler, maybe alaskan husky, not sure but definately blue heeler. he does not get off leash exercise.

I am training my dog to walk on a leash while wearing a halti so he will stop pulling. I have been training him to adjust to wearing it instead of a harness, and its going pretty well. But since i am training him with the halti, what should i use to exercise him with? I have heard/read that dogs nee...

lol. i just used a pen that clicks. he responds better to it

thanks!

I bought a dog training book and i read that clicker training is the most effective way to train a dog. So i tried using the clicker for my dog, but when he hears it, he gets scared of it and tries to walk away, sort of cowering. What can i do to help him so i can still use it for his training?

thanks! i have been looking around online and i have found a book that explains that and more plus i have found a leather 6 ft leash and headcollar i can use.
thanks!

[quote="mspat"]I have had luck with the Gentle Lead Easy Walk harness. It is most effective when used with training as with any training tool. But because of it's design, the lead attaches to the chest, when your dog pulls it automatically corrects the dog by turning them. As all types of ...

I have a dog,named dusty, medium sized, 35 lbs, we think blueheeler/alaskan husky mix not sure, that pulls alot on walks. We have tried so many harnesses and collars- halti,head collars, "no pull" harnesses, choke chains, etc to try to stop his pulling. He is always at the end of his leash...

i also tried the concoction. It smelled horrible but my dog ate it once we cooled it down. I have tried frozen treats with chicken and broth in them but he didnt like it so i didnt freeze this one. He's lazy so he didnt want to open the cardboard to get the rest of the treat. once i opened it more f...

ok thanks! I will start with one of the dogs that he already knows. They have met before and he does pretty well with her. There is also another dog that he gets along ok with as along as that dog isnt all up in his face... but thats understandable. They do fine because the other dog nderstands my d...

ok. While I walk him, just in the park near my house, if we see a dog, should i ask the owner if my dog can greet their dog?
