Just finished reading Cesar Milan's first book. Loved it. I regularly walk a friend's emotional support cockapoo (I refuse to if she has bows in her hair or is wearing a dress, you know, that kind of dog...). Lovely dog I've known since a young age but have recently got fed up with over excitement, some disobedience and poor reaction to other dogs. Must say, I've implemented just a few of his recommendations and feel it's already had a big effect on her and improved our relationship noend. I'm looking forward to our walks much more now.

Dogs need boundaries, just like kids. You can love them intensely, indulge them, spoil them, but they need to know what is acceptable and what's not. It's not always easy, training takes effort but it can be fun. My Rosie use to pull on the lead all the time when we got her. When I took her for a walk, as soon as she pulled I'd stop, make her sit, walk up to her side and start walking again. If she pulled we'd repeat the whole process. A 10 minute walk use to take 45 mins when we first got her, but within a week she understood that pulling on the lead meant a shit walk, which was boring and repetitive. She got it and we'd go walking for hours and both be happy.

:ROFLMAO: I love spaniels. They can be trained too, but maybe getting them not to pull on the lead takes a bit longer

Our working Cocker wasn't too bad but today we saw a squirrel drinking out of the dog dish out the front. So now it's where is he, I'll get him, I'll have him, ears up, hackles up full alert mode ............the lead work has gone up the pictures!

Today's surprising dog fact. XL Bully's don't bark much or at least my neighbour's doesn't. Good job otherwise I'd be straight round......... ??? :dunce:
