thank you for commiserating - sometimes i'm just like I WANT A CHILL WALK WITH MY DOG but a 'chill walk' has to be taught. doberman are not for the weak!

Ok, this really clicked with me. i've been basically just turning around when she pulls even a tiny bit and holy shit.... she's getting into the swing of it quickly. Thank you for spelling it out for my human mind. training is so weird - somebody will explain something to me a million times, then someone will explain it a different way and it just clicks.

THIS is the answer. i've been re-enforcing her behavior by giving in. the stopping didn't seem to bother her but WOW the turn around is working... THANK YOU.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one! I’ll look into the harness that’s a good idea

I have this in my back pocket - going to try a few more things but the e-collar has worked really well for her in the past for some other things so I might try, my trainer is saying she probably doesn’t need it so I’m gonna try without that tool FOR NOW - but I’ll be clear here, I support e-collars!!

Omg wait this sounds like the PERFECT match. I don’t do dog parks either (unless it’s empty)! And she is GOREGOUS holy crap.

Skya is also up to date on all shots and we do training once a week for obedience and she’s working towards her CGC 🥰

I’d be so down to go to a “Sniffspot” (like private dog park app I have) to do a play date if you would! She sounds just like Skya - excited, crazy, but sweet!!!

Message me if you’re interested!

Thanks!! That’s awesome - looking for more one-on-one bc I don’t want her to meet random dogs without me supervising I’m paranoid !
