delboy p 183 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 when road walking your dogs how do you like them to walk to heel or a nice steedey pull i like my to pull how about all of you,s Quote Link to post
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) I dont let mine pull tbh i find it irritating and dont think they should be allowed to pull whay would i let my dog take me for a walk lol.Mine walk not quite to heel but they stay in close and dont pull unless they see something they want to chase or another dogs approaches.Apart form which its counter active if the dogs pulling its not doing them any good the whole point of road work is its a nice steady pace if they pull they dont build the muscles right and its not going to be as effective Edited October 20, 2009 by Cold Ethyl Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 never let a dog pull ahead off u then it thinks it can always do it dog shoud walk at your pace and at your side then they know who is charge Quote Link to post
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 If the lead is taught the dogs telling you what to do mate should be the other way about in my opinion plus it insinuates to others the dogs agressive i know this is a load of crap but joe public works in mysterious ways a big lurcher at the end of a lead doesnt look like its under control where as if theyre by your side doing what your asking people i find are more relaxed round them Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,222 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Pulling is good it strengthening and harding muscles. My dogs know the difference between walking on the pavement/road and out in the field working, so should yours. It only takes a sharp tug on the lead and/or a command. So, yes let it pull. yc.
