Fred Basset by Alex Graham for June 10, 2024

i bet you could drag Mr Dear a fair distance Fred!

The leash is supposed to be long enough that you can stand upright.

You take Dear for runs instead of walks now. Just think what you could do with that harness. He would never stand a chance of ever getting you to do what he wanted.

As a dog trainer, I have found that training the dog is the easiest part of the job. The hardest part is training the owner.

Fred …Perhaps this is the first use of the harness ;-)

If he’s serious about his dog heeling, he’s doing it wrong. You stop moving, give the leash a smart tug & stop the dog, then guide it to the heel position & say “HEEL!” Walking as the dog pulls you along & you say “Heel”, teaches them that heel means move.

My wife bought “head control” harnesses for our new terriers. They do help.

Didn’t see that coming!

A harness is safer, too. It prevents choking!

They usually are ;-)

Well said Fred.

Love the irony!

Wrong Fred think the doggie is controlling it’s master
