[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 296641, member: 1550"] Janet, it's a man thing with dogs. Tom is their alpha, but then there's me and I'm so darn SHORT that I'm sure they think I'm a human chihuahua!!! And I doubt my voice is as imposing as Tom's either. But We're making progress. Victoria's methods do NOT work for my dogs. They are happy to take the treats and will behave better if I'm feeding them, however I can't stuff their faces every time I want them to do something. And if all I did was change direction when they pulled on the leash, I'd be walking zigzag and falling on my face. The dogs wouldn't learn that I didn't want them to pull at all. They just adjust and pull in the other direction. Victoria is for less stubborn dogs than mine. I'm checking into collars, but the dogs are walking sooooooooooo much better. It's amazing how just walking well helps their whole attitude. [/QUOTE]
