Happy-not on a leash, sometimes trots ahead, sometimes walks in a heel, sometimes lags behind to sniff something.
Misty-yanks
Ripley-yanks
Perky-end of the leash lightly pulling
Blair-criss crosses everywhere and trips me.
both my dogs walk nicely at a heel.
both mine walk ahead of me a little bit but they dont pull.They know when to move over to the side when people are walking or riding their bicycle. :)
Tango: Either at a heel or ahead a bit with a loose leash. Depends on where we are and how she's behaving. I don't accept any pulling on the leash at all.
Winston: Always at a heel, otherwise it's lke you don't exist and he won't listen to anything. He didn't have much training before coming to us.
Tia: Ahead with a loose leash, she doesn't even know how to heel..
Morgan: At a heel most often, sometimes I'll let her ahead a bit but I'd rather work on her heel while she's still young.

Forgot to add, the don't go ahead of me without my permissiob. They have to wait for me to say "Ok!" and then they know they can walk ahead a bit.
They will always heel right by my side, they know I don't like them not heeling.
from 5 years of constant training we have been able to get him to almost heal.
When I was living with my parents and had Willy (also after I had to give him to them) it went like this:
Trix: She used to strain and yank but I got her to chill out and just walk either in front or on the side at a nice pace.
Willy: Walks ahead at a normal pace. He used to do the same things with Trix but I got him to stop it, eventually.
Little Dog: Doesn't use a leash. She was abused and starts cowering at the very sight of a leash. She likes to walk along side or a tad ahead. She listens very well so nobody has a problem with this.
lol yeesh way to make me feel bad! Perky, Ripley, and Blair belong to my mom, she does not walk them, they get ALL of their exersize through off leash runs and dogsports. Misty pulls, in places she knows well, she has an absolute perfect heel, both on and off the leash. however in places that continually change or she has not been before, forget it, NOTHING will get her attention, I manage to control her with a haltie but it only works if she does not try to hard, because if she REALLY wants ahead she turnes to face me and pulls backwards as hard as she can till the muzzle part comes off then turnes around and pulls forward. with years of haltie training she is getting a teeny bit better, she someone handled her now and not before they would never believe that she used to be worse lol
Snowy is a puller. The only time she doesn't pull is when she is tired or if I have a treat on my hand :D
Jesse has always been calm.
Shadow - It depends, she doesn't do a perfect heel ever but most of the time she is out ahead with little to no pulling.
Micki - Ahead, no pulling
Mini - She always heels, whether I want her to or not
Kyra - Shes a puller :rolleyes:
Jack - At heel unless I tell him otherwise
Snuggles despises walking at heel! :rolleyes: She is doing nicely learning though! :D
Duke walks ME!!! ;) He walks ahead and pulls slightly.
Ace still yanks and tries to trip me;)
For most part Autumn heels on her own. But since the walks is for her enjoyment I don't enforce it much, she gets a loose lead. She never pulls and she always sits at the street corner. Any dog that I walk soon learns that I don't accept pulling. I work with them when I take them for walks at work and even after a day or two most know to wait for permission before they get to go off sniffing.
