Well, Dudley is a terrible leash walker (He believes he is a sled dog), and I know that this is most definitely my fault for letting him pull, but I've decided that with a new puppy coming along, it would definitely be in my and his best interest to really really really put some effort into improving the problem. I've read the article on "being like a tree" and we have been working on that for a week or two now with some improvement. Then, I came across a thread on different collars you could use. I really considered a harness, but then everyone kept mentioning the martingale collar. So, my questions are: How do you use it? Do you put it on the same way as a traditional collar? Does it cause any harm to the dog? Any tips/tricks to using it successfully?
Thanks guys!
