My collie is 9 and not great on a lead despite
many hours of training etc so I use a Halti head collar thing on him and he doesn't pull with that. But I don't think its terribly suitable for flat faced breeds which Mabel is, isn't she? It wouldn't work on my French Bulldog. Brachiocephalic breeds shouldn't have anything round their faces that restricts their ability to breath and although a Halti works great with my collie (who has a pointed long nose) I would never use one on my frenchie.
She's never bothered training those dogs cos in the Dales she just let them run wherever and never walked them on a lead and now she expects the poor dog to walk nicely on a lead in a new area which has totally different sounds and smells etc to where they used to live?!
Those 2 brainless idiots shouldn't be allowed dogs.
I thought Steve worked out at the gym a lot and had bulging biceps- and he can't manage his dog?! That poor dog should have a harness type lead not a collar.
Oh dear poor Rebecca imagine having to parent her own children all by herself! If he's got a new job and is now going to be off sick I bet he won't be entitled to much pay as he's probably only been there 5 mins!!
She won't be ale to drive 3 hours to Skipton to get her hair and nails done with Steve off work at home!!
