It's important to use techniques that work for you and your dog. For example, I try to loose leash walk Tessa but it is her tendancy to pull so I bought a gentle leader and she walks much more civilized.<br />
<br />
Tessa is quite confident and I must remember that 63lbs is a lot of dog to control sometimes. I do have to be firm with her sometimes to get my point across. I am the boss and she cannot do certain things with me unless she is invited to do so, i.e., getting on the couch. It is about respect…

I watch The Dog Whisperer quite a bit. Ellen, you have not offended me :) I think the dogs appear worried because they have never had discipline before. The dogs are probably thinking, "Who is this guy?!"<br />
<br />
I might look into the clicker stuff... I've heard good things about it. Hmmm<br />

Happy Doodling!
