    Happy-not on a leash, sometimes trots ahead, sometimes walks in a heel, sometimes lags behind to sniff something.

    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.

    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.
