Sorry about the spelling and there is no ouch he's fixed and I was tired. I used the Easy Walk harness and had it fitted to him. He laid in to the harness until he was able to cause one of the buckles to slip enough to jerk his leg out. I reset the harness a couple of times and finally returned it. I'll try the treats only in the yard and see how that goes.
Max is like my Omar was he does not like to do his business anywhere near his home so I'll use the wiggles and wags harness on our walks. I walk Max about 6 times a day, short walks are about 1/3 to a 1/2 a mile and the long ones are about a mile. That's my top end I'm getting a little slow in my retirement.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
My Max is 5 1/2 and all he wants to do is be near us. He sleeps with us and he's my second skin. Max is an exceptionally large B. He's 35 pounds of pure mussel.
Pictures will be posted soon.

Hi all,
I could use some suggestion.
About 8 weeks a go I adopted Max from BRAT. Max is 5 1/2 years old and the sweetest guy. He is also one of the largest B's I've ever met or seen. He is 35 pounds of pure mussel. I've has him checked out and the vet says he is not fat and his weight is find for his bone size. Anyway, in the house he is good as gold, no paper shedding, no chewing, no garbage searching, etc.. Now you take him out side and he can pull you off your feet. He pulled so hard he was could heart himself. I purchase a genital leader and he figured how to get it off his nose. I got and easy walker harness and he was able to pull so hard that he could get his paws out. I now have a Waggles Wags and Whiskers harness. I have returned the regular one and got the one that has a lop at the chest and in the back. He can't get out but as for his pulling he doesn't care, he's still the team. I've tried going the other way every time he pulls and he goes the other way and swings back pulling as hard or harder. I've tried treats, short leashes, etc.. Nothing even slows him down.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Steve

Hi, Sorry for the long delay in thanking you for the welcome.

Steve and Max

Hi and thank you all for the warm welcome. I tried to scan some pictures but it didn't work so i went out to day a got one of those new digitals. As soon as it's charged and i figure out how to use it I'll send pictures of Max. He is becoming very vocal so I guess he he likes it here and has decided stay. He greeted me with 2 very nice broo's today. He has also figured out how to take off the gentile lead and the easy walk harness. He must be part sled dog.
Talk again soon,
Steve

Thank you,
Steve

Hi All,
My name is Steve and 3 weeks a go I adopted Max from BRAT. He is a 5 yr old red and white Male and it was love at first meeting. All he wants to do is be next to us and be loved.
He likes being the only dog in the house, just like my first B. We lost him to Cancer when he was 14 and now waits for me at the Rainbow bridge, health and as fit as a puppy.
As for my wife and I, we are retired and I am a DYI 'er.
Nice to meet all,
Steve
