Off Topic Put up a pic of your pets

My Mini Schnauzer... Dexter. Barks at bloody everything. But he's a cracking loving pet

 

Freddie, just turned 1 he’s a bugger for pulling on his lead, any suggestions it makes walking him horrible

 

Mr Paddy. He's been through so much with me. 17 this year.

 

You can try abruptly changing direction and going back the way you came, along with a little yank on the lead (not enough to hurt obviously), then doing it again to go the way you were initially.

Kind of snaps the dog out of its single minded rush forward and makes it aware that it's on a lead and goes where you want to not the dog.

 

Aye we’ll try that thanks, he’s sound apart from the pulling, he’s getting his knackers off next week so that might calm him down a bit also

 

My pal has a husky does the same so they got a harness for him. Still pulls like **** mind but at least now they don't worry about choking him and they said it is easier to control him.

 

but it has more hair on its head than you mate.........

 

We’ve tried harnesses, chokers, normal collar and lead, He’s got a one track mind to get to the next thing he sees as quick as he can he’s not bothered that it chokes him he just gasps, he’s off his head

 

Get some mini roller skates for him. His legs might still be going like the clappers but he won't be getting as much forward motion, saving on the old choking there.

 

My 3rd generation of German Sherherds Keane the white one and Inga the Black and Tan. Brother and sister sadly no longer with us. Both wonderful dogs. Miss them both.

 

I was gonna suggest similar, I'll stop walking altogether when either pulls and wait for them to stop, then when they do give them praise before setting off again. The little 'un will sometimes sit down now if she feels the lead get tight from pulling as she knows we are about to stop.

 

While I'm talking about shouldn't let them things. Shouldn't leave the bedroom door open when I finished a night shift just this morning.

She's pushed under the covers and licking my feet now

 

Sussed. His beard isn't as good though

 

My 4th generation of shepherds meet Klaus and Rudi. 2 brothers . Rudi is the black one. 2 years old and fabulous loving dogs. Rudi is very laid back takes everything in his stride. Klaus typical shepherd into everything and like a bull in a china shop. Both great temperaments and love socialising with others. Keep me busy.

 

It’s sad that shepherds have a reputation that they don’t deserve. I’ll admit that as young lad I was **** scared of them. That was because a lad up the road from me had one but the family never socialised her. She just stood at the side gate and barked and growled at anything that came near to her.

 

These 2 are a Swiss shepherd and the puppy is a Caucasian Shepherd
Also have an Akita/shepherd cross who’s frightened to death of the puppy

 

Scooby, three and a half year old male staffy, vocal, gregarious and a whole bundle of energy and fun, just a shame about his colours.

 

I know a JP who has an Akita. Softest thing I’ve ever met.
