So.... Day 3 with the Martindale now and it's a wonderful thing!
I remember as a kid having our German Sheppard mix girl and my dad insisted she have a choke chain for a walking collar. He demonstrated to us kids about how she would learn the sound of the chain sliding through the rings would get a "response" from her to slow down, or she would get hurt.
I am seeing that response from Leo every time we go walking....
Makes me think that raising dogs is a lot like raising kids... There are MANY opinions of the "proper way", the "safe way" and the "easy way"....
But there is no definitive "EXACTLY CORRECT way".
