thanks

Lots of great advice here, The trainer prefers the martindale - which we have. also want to check with the breeder. maybe i am placing it in the wrong position. i still would like to try the halti - yes will watch the video and read the instructions. will also speak with the trainer. as i said, the vet prefers the choker or the prong. as a first time sheepie owner i am trying to do everything right. i really want him under control when walking - when he reaches his full size I don't want to be pulled or knocked down. I have always had Shih Tzus so the leash training was totally different.

Check your tv listings to see if Dog Whisperer is on in your area....National Geographic channel I believe. His calm approach is half the battle.
I have watched him and learned a lot, but the trainer is very against his techniques. you can see i am very confused.

Your trainer is in very good company.. :wink: ..... :lol:

The Gentle Leader will help with control, but doesn't teach the dog how to walk nicely on a loose leash. Lots of treats and a clicker could do that.

But I don't trust any dog 100% not to try to bolt for one reason or another, and the Gentle Leader will at least keep the dog from pulling you over.
