It's 7am and the sun is still not up. This past week I've been surprised by the weather.
This morning I was lamenting to myself that it is normal and appropriate for my dog to want to approach others;however, he is very strong and when he pulls it looks scary. At least I think it does, since I am at the receiving end and can never see it from the other end.
I think some people might think I don't have control of Finn, which is not true. Even though we look clumsy, I am still able to pull him away last minute and he does end up traveling the direction that I direct. Therefore, I have control.
Anyhow, I realized a few days ago that I can control him better with hand to collar technique but forgot about it last night. We are going to practice approaching others while we are link together by this hand to collar technique.
If we can get him to approach others slowly and in a less excited manner then he will be even better on leash.
