It has been about five years since I had a dog of my own but I still remember how important it is to use leads and collars for showing that new pup who is boss. I got to thinking about this yesterday while taking a friend’s dog, Rex, mentioned in the post below that looks exactly like the dog in the picture below, for a walk. From his apartment, we had to take the elevator down to the street. Waiting for the elevator too was a woman, a larger hunting dog that as soon as he saw Rex started whining and jumping around. As the woman shushed, Rex’s tail completely bent underneath himself and coward behind my legs.
As the dog kept barking, the woman got more and more embarrassed because Rex was not making a peep. Part of the reason for his good behavior was my buddy used leads and collars when he was little to teach him not to jump at fellow dogs or bark at people on the street. Every time his dog used to bark while on a walk, he would yank the leads and collars as a sign to quite down. It worked.
