Alecia Evans designed the Walk In Sync system to make the dogs and their pet humans less stressed when out walking. Since 2001, Alecia has been a professional trainer. She believed there had to be a better more humane way to train your dog to walk with you, to stop the pulling and frustration for both the dog and the dog owner.
I was a bit skeptical to try this harness and leash combo. I have tried everything to have my dogs
walk with me and not against me. I love my dogs, Watson and Lily so much, but, it was always stressful trying to go for walks with them. Watson and Lily love to lead. They are half German Shepherd and half Golden Retrievers weighing 85 plus pounds, so, needless to say, they walked me!
I tried everything, took them to doggy behavior school where they had me first fit them with choke chains, but, they continued to pull to get to the other dogs so they could play. Wouldn't you know I had to have the class clowns! The instructor there then fitted them with the "torture" collars. I don't know what they are called professionally, but, they have rounded spikes that dig into the dogs necks...I couldn't bare hurting them to have them walk with me. I want them to enjoy walking not have pain from it.
The next thing I tried was the leash that also goes up and around the nose. Ohhhh, they didn't like that at all! In fact, it says to let them have their temper tantrum and then they will see that you are boss and they will get used to it. My dogs are more stubborn than the dogs in that video. My poor Watson would walk a little bit and then rub his nose with his paw and on the ground so much that when we got home he had a raw and tender spot on his nose.
frustrated and searching the web, I saw the Walk In sync site and decided to write to Alecia, who was kind enough to provide me with the Walk In Sync system! Thank you Sweetie.
I was so excited when they came in. I was amazed at how well made they are! I fitted them to my dogs and off we went. Lily is a fast learner. When she pulled and I stopped, she would sit down and wait, Watson was another story, he kept wanting to pull but was getting nowhere, so after about 2/3 hour of working with him, he understood!
Now, walking is fun and enjoyable for all of us. Finally a system that didn't hurt my precious companions!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite breed is Mutt because I feel every dog needs a chance and I have worked as a volunteer for a humane society and most of the dogs were mutts. They were still sweet and needed loving homes. I prefer the smaller mutts to the large breed mutts but I had a large German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix She was sweet wonderful with children. She also needed the prefect family because she did have a tendency to want to protect women from men. The prefect family was found where the husband was out of town a lot and loved this guard dog feature. She has lived with them for a couple years now and he brings her home a treat when he returns from a trip and then she knows he is the guy she loves and lets him inside

ReplyDeletePoms and mini poodles or pomapoos! Just rescued one of each(both are puppy mill rescues) and am having a hard tme teaching my 5 yr old mini poodle how to walk on a leash. So sad when a 5 yr old dog has been so abused and mistreated that by her age she has no clue how to walk on a leash.
