hi crikit,

I'm going to try that at lunch today and then again when I
get home tonight.

hi wolfq,

yeh I tried running and excitedly saying Let's Go! and Come On,
Oz! This all worked when on the halter, well most of the time,
but no doing with the training collar.

Hi dixie,

The one thing I'm worried about with the flat buckle collar is
when I'm having this no budging issue, he does pull backwards
and I'm afraid he's going to pull out of his collar. Which I guess
in my neighborhood isn't too much of a concern, because he
follows me pretty good, without the leash, so I don't think he'd
run from me. I was more concerned about when we're at
Petsmart, which is why I went for the more secure collar.
If I put the flat buckle on tight enough where he can't pull
his head out is that going to be too tight?

I'm going to work on the dangling leash today in the backyard
with the treats and see how he does.

Thanks all ya'll for the suggestions!
