all dog training is really ultimately about being consistant and keeping the dog in a routine. - groiny Nov 7, 09:16 17

- [deleted]

  - yeah, the training is for you as much as the dog. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 10:33

    - Lead-on pulling is only an issue if you make it one. Our older dog pulled but I didn't care because it was not something I deemed worthwhile to train. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 09:44
- Exactly. I can not imagine paying someone else to do this. -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 09:18 8
  - some dogs really do need it. then it's up to the owner to keep up the training. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 09:20 7
    - This is how my dad trained our dogs growing up; when he did something wrong, or didn't obey him, he was tied up outside and left there for the night, - Loyola Nov 7, 09:34
    - Kelly/Will maybe start with the basics of leash training - having them heel and walk with you using the chain type collar and see how he does - JenBro Nov 7, 09:33 5
      - what's the dog doing/not doing? (sorry, busy this week. must have missed the initial post.) -- nm - sheriff peggy ann Nov 7, 09:35 4

  - I mean...I get it. 3B is better than 1B but still. It would have been nice had they made one Great Movie. - Mel Profit Nov 7, 10:08
  - As Reagen mentioned, it should be called something like, " - Finally the Stuff You Wanted to See" -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 09:34 3
    - Except I'm starting to realize the stuff I wanted to see I already saw during the Lord of the Rings trilogy. -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 09:53
