    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

    Jack - At heel unless I tell him otherwise

    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.

    Sassy always walks ahead with no pulling. She is very well behaved outside and on the leash.

    Frisk... a little behind me. Beside me every now and then, but tends to slow down... likes to stay a bit behind so that he can sniff and "mark his territory".
    Ethan... Pulls just a little at the beginning, then calms down when I tell him to. Then he stays ahead, but doesn't pull.
    Skylar... He is very much of a puller. He just gets so excited during walks. We've even tried walking him four times a day one time, but he still got equally excited when on the walk.... so he's got a bit of learning to do.
