Much obliged for providing some good ideas on this topic. I have sought out a great variety of good suggestions about natural health and some unreliable suggestions. Do you have any more reliable ideas or places on the Web that I can find more detailed information? This would be very much appreciated! So, keep up the good work!

Chet, thank you so much for all the information, training tips, and advice. I work with a small rescue organization and one of our programs involves taking the dogs to a local elementary school where 5th graders help us socialize and do a little training to make the dogs more adoptable. We do a lot of walking in these sessions because we are working on training the dogs to not pull. The kids have been great and catch on quick to the idea of stopping when their dog pulls and waiting until it releases pressure by backing up or turning towards the student and then proceeding forward. It seems to be a slow process with some dogs that have pulled for several years, but it is working. Now I will incorporate the fast, slow, turn, stop, start, etc. into the training to keep the dogs from getting bored, as you said. I really like how you train and wish I had more time to work with my own 4 dogs using your methods.

Thanks Minette, you make me really proud of the boyz! I now understand…I have to dance in the street…that should entertain the boyz! This is really helpful information. Since I walk the boyz by myself in the afternoon on most days our routine becomes pretty stale! I always learn new things from you!

Great info! Sad to hear of a owner who would hurt his animal so. I find your info very helpful, and also very calming when i fear that there is no one out there with just simple, plain jane easy to understand and to put into action techniques for training your dog. Thank you again for your articles, cant wait to read the next one. If you have any onfo on RE-potty training, it’d be great. Seems my two dogs have unlearned all their potty training. Maybe it is the stress of moving to Alaska, i dont know, they get let out any where from 5-8 times a day to go potty, but they just dont. PLEASE HELP!!
