@roguecoyote Good for you ! I swear by a Gentle Leader as a training tool. A week or so on one and then a day on a normal collar and lead and they trot along fine. They go back on the GL from time to time just as a refresher. You are controlling their head and that is very important.
Training Levels
-
With so many people bringing home new pups and dogs, I thought I would post this link to the Training Levels book. My obedience instructor uses levels training in her class and the basenjis are doing really well at them. I like that the exercises are well written and something you can do on your own at home. For new puppies and dogs I really recommend reading Come, Crate, Go to Mat, Zen (Leave It), Handling, and Watch.
