I have a secret I need to share

I have two Alaskan Malamutes who are born to pull and used to really strain on the lead. It got to the stage they were too strong to walk on their Y lead so I had to drive them to remotes areas so they could run off leash. But at Christams I bought them each a new halti-collar from the Pet Shop. Not cheap but the best thing I ever bought them.

I live in a rural area

and I like to have my dogs off leash. To ensure that they do not get too far ahead I use a method I learnt off Supernanny. Let the dogs run off ahead and when they get to a certain distance you want them to stop at call them back. If you keep doing this they soon learn the limit they are allowed to go ahead and will not go past it.

There are lots of different brands out there but do try and get one that allows the dog to open it's jaw fully and to breathe naturally. I got mine for Pet Essentials and they have a range of sizes to suit most dogs. If this is a problem you have I thoroughly recommend you invest in one of these.

The harness is easy to put on and looks like a muzzle except they can still fully open their mouths to pant and drink. The lead connects under their chin so if they pull their head turns. They immediately stopped pulling and now I can walk both with the lead just draped over my shoulder, hands free. So what secrets can you share?
