need help - Page 2  post #21 of 30  It is really important to
teach your dog to walk appropriately on a leash NOW!!!   Trust
me, it doesn't get easier if you don't make sure she understands
walking manners now..   My big suggestion for that would be to
scrap the harness, those things don't solve the problem they
just make it easier to control the dog...  Use a gentle
leader...Those things are absolutely amazing. Your kiddo could
take her for a walk and hold the leash with ONE finger once she
learned how to walk on it. The learning part is very brief. it
is very simple and anyone can teach their dog to walk perfectly
on it once they have really read and understood the directions..
Google Gentle Leader and check it out... Goodluck at the dog
park. Maybe distance yourself from your DH and dog a bit at the
park if you are goi
