LindaMC Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted. After selling my house and moving to the city, the house I was living in caught fire. It’s been one thing after another. Maisie and I are settled in a new apartment. She is doing quite well, with the exception of walking on a leash. She still pulls me everywhere! I know longer have a computer, I do everything on my phone. I will try to keep up but not as easy. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanford Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 So sorry to hear about your tough times and I'm hoping for better days to come for you both. Pulling ahead while walking on a leash seems to be a "cairn thing." This was true for my two, but I admit to not being a good disciplinarian. Just yesterday I witnessed a dog walker with an assorted pack of 6 or 7, all walking in a loosely compact, cooperative group - with one exception - of course it turned out to be a (very cute) cairn, happily pulling 2 feet ahead, in front of the pack! P.S. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pix of Maisie. Quote FEAR THE CAIRN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniegirl Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hello and Welcome back. Maisie looks adorable. So sorry to hear about your circumstance. I find burying my face in dog fur when times are bad, does wonders. Big hugs to you and Maisie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianne Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Welcome back! Sorry to hear of your challenges but good to hear you have Maisie. These incredible creatures make us think away from our troubles. As for pulling on leash, I would look into a harness. Although Katie (4 1/2) has been to obedience training classes, she will pull. Even better she will lie down if she doesn't want to a walk on. She is particularly talented for laying down in the middle of street crossings. Usually this is prompted by her seeing an approaching dog or a friendly person. Tugging and dragging are frowned on! No to cajoling or treats. Finally chose a padded harness that has a handle! That way I can reach down and move her along or pick her up by the handle. We are both happy with this solution. Funny thing is, after a few months of the harness she now walks much better when she is walked only with a collar. Go figure! Best to you! (Top Paw Ultra Reflective Dog Harness = its padded on the underside.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
