Went for the family dog walk this morning. Damn Eowyn is strong. Played the 'make like a tree' game with her to try and teach loose-leash walking. It was.. not awesome. She's very distracted by everything still.
Just gonna keep at it.
@rpardee Is she small enough for you to pick up? If so, there's a video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ9V0iSEHwc it might work for you
@rpardee My dog is not that big, but I have to get in front of her and back her up rather than pick her up. It Does work as well but you have to be on every single attempt to get around your directions.
Good luck.
@rpardee Horses are very smart. The problem is if your horse moves toward you and you back away, you've told him he's boss. It's a big mind game, you reverse that and they'll back up when you cue them. He deals with a lot of horses with serious problems, but the principles are pressure / release, advance / retreat.
