Training Tip Thursday!


When training loose leash walking it is a great idea to exercise your dog before a walk! You can play ball, frisbee in the backyard! The "flirt pole" shown in this video is a great tool to burn some energy and teach self control! It is futile to try and train Loose leash walking on a three mile walk with an energized pooch! Keep walks short and low in distractions, you will be less frustrated and ready to walk again!
The flirt pole or sometimes called "tease pole" is available on Amazon or at Kyjen


The only one at fault here would be the adult in the room.
