OKay, yesterday on our walk I used the walking technique that you used with Vic, on Frodo. Overall it went pretty well, but I do have a few questions (I thought that I would make this a thread instead of a PM in case anybody else was trying this and had the same questions). Here we go:
1) This may sound really stupid but, when you do this, is the dog supposed to stay right next to you or can it be more of a loose leash walking?
2) What do you do if the dog pulls sideways, b/c Frodo likes to walk in the grass next to the sidewalk, or if a good smell is off to the side he will turn and pull towards it.
3) After a while of this Frodo seemed to get really frustrated, like he didn't understand why I was doing this. Then when I would turn around he would just stop walking and stand there, or walk really slowly right behind my feet. Is this normal?
