Thanks Eric! Our little Maltese was always in a hurry to be a step or four ahead on walks and would pull and pull. When we stop, he would heel but starting again, pull pull pull. After about 7 times of reversing directions, he got the idea that at my left side was the best place for him during movement. He was kinda’ pissed or frustrated the first couple of times but I think he thought it was him and not me and now he doesn’t choke himself, he seems happier, and I couldn’t be more proud. YAY!

This really worked! I tried it last night on my 7 month old Newfoundland. She’s 80lbs so I was very tired of her pulling while we were on a walk. She pretty much got it after 5 minutes! Thanks!

I tried this and my dog got mad and ran away and I had to chase her for 10mins
She’s a minuture pinscher and her head is small so she gets off of all the harnesses and collars I buy her please I really need help I’m getting tired of chasing her for over 10 mins she’s so fast! Anyone have any advice

get a choke coller. You dont have to choke your dog with it but it wont get away.
Then teach her not to run from you.

choke collars are terrible dude, why would you even suggest that?

I use a choke collar and thats my dogs only collar. I dont choke my dog dont hit my dog I use it to gaurantee that she does not get away from me as she has done with basic collars. BAsic collers have even broke on me. I am a responsible dog owner that has a well trianed loving happy dog.

if you train the dog correctly there’s no reason for a choke collar. my neighbor is 13 years old and has taught his 5 month old pit bull to not run off, not bark at other dogs, be gentle with small children, not jump on people, he never barks when someone rings the doorbell, he even trained him to shake someones hand when they come in the door! (that was for fun but its cool) but my point is that if you do it correctly the training IS the choke collar (metaphorically speaking)

You dont get the reason that I have a collar like this. I know and understand that I have an animal that has instincts to run after other animals whether they are trained or not this will happen. I have had regular collars fail and my dog is to important to me to have hit by a car or run up on another dog, because at 5 months old they havent reached adulthood and are less likely to run off at that young of an age. My dog again is well trained but it is an animal.

cubemaster13 – if your dog escapes then practice this somewhere where it can’t get too far away and where it is safe. Practice in your garden/yard or an enclosed area like an empty tennis court.

Get an Invisible Fence! They really work. Be sure to get the real brand though because there are alot of them out there that are not as good.
