I would guess that Mollie and I have walked over 400 miles since she came into my life. She's been a good companion. However, she just never learned how to walk with a leash. I've had to shorten the leash and constantly stop to get her to "heel." This lasts for as long as something doesn't come along to distract her.
So, yesterday we went to One Stop Country Pet Supply to get some kind of a device to train her. The helpful clerk steered us to "The Sporn Halter" (www.sporn.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=SPUS100) which she said would help us stop Mollie from pulling.
Today, I tried it out. At first Mollie didn't like it but within seconds she adjusted. We took our normal 4-mile walk to the post office and back. It was probably the most enjoyable walk we had. Sure, she occasionally tried to pull, but a quick tug and she was back in step.
Can't wait to show Yael tomorrow.
