WALK THIS WAY
After watching several episodes of "The Dog Whisperer" I decided to try some of the thechniques that I've learned. In the beginning of your walk, you are to start out standing up straight,with shoulders held high. You are to give the impression that, you are in charge. Well, that only worked with Tigger, as far as our front porch. After that, he drug me through the front yard, and down the street. My neighbor was so worried about me that, she came down to check on us.
She said that both my son and I, looked like a couple of little kids, being walked by three dogs. As mentioned before, Tigger drug me, and the other two dogs drug my middle son. He had the Bulldog Winston, and the youngest Boxer puppy Noel. Again, I had decided that, I was going to be in charge of Tigger. I was going to whip him into shape, while he was on the leash. I actually had it in my head, "I can do this... he's only a big puppy."
Before our half and hour walk, to the end of the culdesac and back, my neighbor showed back up. However, she was on foot this time, with the spike, choker coller in hand. She had actually put two of her smaller dogs collers together. Although, Tigger's neck was far too big for both of those. In the beginning of her training, Tigger bit and fought her. He jumped into her face, and nearly knocked her glasses off as well. Thankfully, she handed them off to me, before he could do so.
Soon I made my son, and the neighbor girl put the other two dogs away. This way, we could work with just Tigger. To make a long story short. She evetually got him to walk properly on the leash. She even handed his leash to me, and he walked fine for me too. I was in complete shock. It was like I had my own Dog Whisperer. She said that we should work with him for, the next two weeks straight.
The training sessions, should do this for about 30 minutes per evening. I agreed because, it's still warm outside in the evening. She said that, she would see me tomorrow, and we would work on it some more together. I asked he if, she thought that he was untrainable, and she said no. I'll be suprised to see if, this does any good. Happy dog training ya'll.
