I bought the Gentle Leader for the dogs this weekend. After reading all about it, online and the directions that came with the collars, I thought I'd give it a try. I haven't watched the video yet, though I will. I put the collar on a dog, gave him/her treats and cooed at them, then took it off. I did this several times, leaving the collar on for longer periods of time until I got the leash attached to Bailey's. He trotted along beside me but as soon as I tried to turn him, he stopped dead in his tracks. I'm sure the video will help me here.
I didn't get them to the park this weekend. I know this is key to getting them other-dog-friendly, but I'm afraid to take Bailey. Missy is fine, until the other dog tries to introduce himself to me, and Missy gets jealous. But she's good when I throw the ball to her. Bailey, on the other hand is just not friendly.
