Don't Pull the Leash or Strap
When it comes to canine behavior and problems during training, as is normal pull of the strap

You may believe that the jerk would be a matter that the owners could easily try and not be required to attend an ethologist. That's up to you, as owner of a dog, tries to prevent the animal he wants to go at full speed. The animal will be almost desencaje arm and hanged himself almost to the eyes is out of the orbits.

In fact, long ago, not all trainers ethologist or could offer little by way of a solution to solve this practical problem and stressful, and as a result, many dogs still strangled while walking through the park.

As a result, walked less than necessary for its owners since it was a torture to extract a walk. Other dogs were cruelly treated by the confrontation and abuse by some self-proclaimed "trainers". Surely this is a testament to the incompetence of the man who used (and still, unfortunately, used) so barbaric tools to fix this problem so prevalent from the terrible chain choke collars and punishment (barbed) up collars that administered electric shocks and even beat the dog to submit.

Prevention is better than cure
In the case of owners who could not attend the training classes for puppies or who were not in a workshop to use modern and effective approaches for training, the problem of dog that tends to pull the strap and not solved, as the dog grows, so does the problem.

Cause and effect
Like any book that will explain devoted to training, the dogs pulling the strap for different reasons: enthusiasm for reaching the park, follow a trail, bringing their owners to various locations, insecurity and wanting to secure sites as soon as possible ... Some stretch just because something we have to stretch the pressure collar invited back and in the end everything becomes a battle of strength for the simple reason, first, that the dog wears a belt on.

Some of these dogs and strolling quiet happily beside his owner where there is no putting a leash, but there are places where you can not avoid going without a belt (for legal or security reasons), and here the problems begin.

Some dogs start to pull when they want to meet other dogs. If we subject them may end up disappointed and frustrated if they can start to get angry, especially because they fly more competitive when they start to grow. Thus, we end up with an aggressive and excitable dog, simply because it was never properly socialized or taught him to walk with a strap on.

Need help
A good trainer has a set of ideas, techniques and tools to teach the dog for a walk with the leash from the start to choose the most suitable method. But this only happens after the owner has gone to a good trainer for assistance. Many owners do not reach that far: just make certain that the problem persists, do nothing to fix or get rid of the dog to frequently repeat all these problems with their next pet.

As if by magic ...
Apollo represents a typical example of a strong dog that pulls the strap. We wanted to try a new Gentle Leader halter called. What you got to put the Gentle Leader Apollo was one of those transformations that occur in total cases in some dogs when they feel its effects: simply stopped the belt and pull off. Sat or stood still standing, we paid attention and was attentive to what was happening around him. Not trying to go anywhere unless you drive, and if so jog on our side as if it never pulled the strap on his life.

We would be the first to say that this was rather strange, since the majority of the dogs led them a few minutes to get used to wearing the Gentle Leader, and some are trying to remove the leg for a while before the calm. In fact, the owners always warned that any protest will wait while trying new things with your dog. It often happens that the more a dog then balk at first, just best to accept. But Apollo seemed taken wearing the Gentle Leader simply as something else from the range of life experiences. Now he saw life differently and with us, rather than in spite of us.

How does it work?
Everything had seemed so easy that was almost a little ashamed. We wonder, as we do often, what kind of crazy that was expected in the early days, the dogs were trained paseados and a necklace with a halter and not when it works so well with other animals very strong. Whoever made that life was more difficult for the dog trainers and dog owners.

And how and why the Gentle Leader work in the case of Apollo: as always, seemed to be due to a combination of three effects:

1. Because of the loop around the muzzle, the Gentle Leader and he controlled the head of Apollo so the Mass that makes any halter for horses, bulls, goats, camels, etc.. This provides a much better degree of control and virtually no force is required compared to trying to direct, train or walk a dog on a leash and a collar. Some dogs, such as Apollo, which seem to run out and shoot when they can not wear a halter, so stop trying immediately. In the case of others, there is nothing contrary to pull compared to the battle against a collar or a choke chain (punishment), so the concept that invites the back pressure is eliminated. To be honest, most dogs will take a while to get used to the feeling of something taking place in the side and having to relinquish their ability to muddle through. But usually only a matter of moments, and the acceptance process can be accelerated with a positive and rewarding partnership between wearing the halter and the expectation of receiving awards.
2. The pressure around the nose caused by the comfortable fit of the muzzle loop is probably also had a psychological effect on natural dog Apollo, as is the case with most dogs who wear one. Causes a relaxation response typical of the type that occurs when dogs and wolves grab the mouth gently with the nose of the young members of his flock, or when the animals snout to present their subordinates that a member of the flock of greater age or status as take by mouth. It is also believed that the loop around the muzzle pressure on acupressure point on the face of the dog, stimulating a natural relaxation response.
3. Special ring-shaped "D" twice the Gentle Leader, carefully placed over the nut Apollo transferred without causing pain, part of the stress on the neck while trying to pull the belt. This stimulated a second natural relaxation response that begins in the puppy stage of a puppy relaxes automatically if your mother (or someone) will take the skin of the neck, so that it can be transported quickly and efficiently, not stirred , perhaps to ward off a danger. This innate response is maintained to some degree in most adult dogs, as happened in the case of Apollo, and also helped to reassure them. With these natural effects, which can be obtained simply by placing the animal on Gentle Leader is not surprising that a disobedient dog or one that pulls the strap halter with this sole AutoCorrect and becomes quiet and easy to walk out of the minutes (or in this case seconds) to wear. As shown Apolo, training then becomes a little less frightening, because the dog is more relaxed and the owner can better communicate with and motivate the animal. The Gentle Leader is also very useful for the treatment of specific behavior problems such as aggression toward other dogs.
