Ok I officially don't get it, this is a bunch of crap, IMO...:rofl1:
I finally, after having dogs for 2 years and being married almost 3, got my hubby to take the dogs for a walk with me and the kids today for the very first time.
So we take a dirt road that's out behind the house (it's a service road to the railroad tracks) - and I am just amazed now.
Smokey has always been bad for pulling, we have a prong collar but I was working to wean him off of it. My hubby pulls the macho man "I don't need that, his regular collar is fine" - as I'm thinking "yeah ok, let's see this" because Smokey really pulls me bad usually...but NOOOO not today. He was perfect on the leash and I took Lily because she has no manners...so I'm correcting her and working with her and he's being the gentleman. Great ok, I'm happy there's progress.
So Lily is being, uhm, dumb puppy and pretending she's never had a leash on before and giving me problems with pulling and acting the fool. So hubby offers to switch dogs. Ok sure why not.
Not even 10 minutes later she's walking quite nice for him (he corrected her twice) and was good for the rest of the walk...
WTF! I'm the person that does all the reading and tries to learn and he comes in like a pro and puts me to shame! Not that I really mind because the end result is that they were walking good and not dragging either of us...but WHY? I feed the dogs, take them to the vet, walk them, all of it...and they obey him like he's God and try to walk all over me...I find it rather amusing but also confusing.
So I shall bow down to my all mighty hubby, the dog trainer, lol. :hail:
