what should i do? Exercise conflict

Post by dustyhelp »

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 need 30 minutes of flat out running..... but im not sure if i need to use the halti while running/walking or... and also if he isnt used to the halti yet and he cant walk with it on, what do i do?

i am really confused.
My dog runs, i fall behind. I run, I still fall behind.

How old is your dog and what breed/mix? Does he get off-lead exercise?

Check out our pinned thread on loose lead walking.
