I took Brimley out for a walk today. He did so well. No pulling No Barking, No trying to jump into ditches bigger than me. He was fabulous. I even walked him past Kodi. Not close but walked where he could see him. I kept my cheerios out and the clicker and every time he say him I treated him. There was even a walker go past us and he didn't even react. I am so very proud of my guy. Such a stress free walk... LOVE IT! P.S. I just got him one of those sensible harnesses. oh man what a difference.  |

Congratulations to you and Brimley!  Riley isn't a puller (unless he sees someone with food  ) but Kody the sammy is. We LOVE the Sensable harness we got for him a few months ago and so far it has worked far better than any training methods, treats, distractions, etc. we've tried to minimize the pulling. I know we probably won't be able to eliminate it entirely. Sammies were born to pull. But at 65 lbs. he can drag me into the street in pursuit of a squirrel and the harness makes that impossible now. |

That is great!!! I am glad that he did so well for you - keep working with him and don't let him get away with anything.

Good boy Brimley!!!! It's so much nicer to take them out on a walk and not get pulled all over the place.

yesterday we tried it without the new harness and the walk was so bad that we turned around and I put the harness back on. He was much better and only tried to jump into one ditch. Did I mention that the ditches where I live are bigger than me and full of water.
Now that it's warm we have been going for 3 mile walks twice to three times a day. I've been trying to lose weight he is a good helper in making me get up and running.
