I have a wonderful Boxer girl I got from a rescue group.she is about six
years old, and we know nothing about her background. She was found on the
street. I would like to train her to walk beside me, and also to come, sit,
stay.just so I can keep her safe when I do have to take her on a leash. She
does pull rather hard when I put on her harness ( A Sporn Non-Pulling Mesh
Control Harness) and go outside our large fence yard. In our yard she
does seem to respond to "sit" at times..but will not stay if I walk away
from her.
Several years ago, someone dumped a Boxer in my neighborhood.. He had been
very badly abused, but he eventually became my beloved companion. He had
been well trained, and it was such a delight to have him walk nicely on a
leash when we had to go to the vet..he really enjoyed going! I hope that I
can at least teach/train this girl to walk on a leash and not pull this old
lady down!
I would appreciate any suggestions as to the best kind of collar or harness
to use, and any tips on training. I have done a lot of searching on the
web, and that can be a bit confusing..so would appreciate some firsthand
experience.
I do enjoy reading all your posts.
