How does the weiss walkie work

If you find your dog is having a difficult time with this exercise, the environment may be too distracting. Try a quieter area, higher quality treats, or invest in training harnesses or collars.

Below are some of the recommended tools:. The Weiss Walkie comes in two different sizes; one for dogs under 25 pounds and one for 25 pounds and over. In order to use the Weiss Walkie, your dog will need an appropriate fitted collar. This will tighten as the dog pulls and loosen as he relaxes. The Weiss Walkie was built to apply pressure without having buckles and many attachments.

It is very simple and quick to put on. The Gentle Leader comes in two different options; the head collar or the harness. Both are designed to encourage the dog to stop pulling, lunging, and will still allow them to comfortably do activities eat, drink, pant. The head collar is NOT a muzzle and will need adjustment time. The harness can be a bit tricky to put on at first, but once on, you will snap your leash to the front chest area and if your dog pulls, the harness is built to pull them to the side.

Over the next couple days, Coal's pulling got so bad I tried everything from screaming to yelling, but nothing seemed to work.

So I tried the Weiss Walkie the man at the butcher shop gave me. Coal's pulling stopped instantly. I mean instantly - NO pulling. And I thought to myself "Where the heck did I put that business card?

I let them try the one given to me on their dogs for a walk around the block and they see the results I did with Coal that day. WHY does it work? I have no idea! You'll have to ask Maine Dog Behavioralist Dr.

Emily Weiss who invented it! But she noticed that when her husband would wrap the leash snugly around the widest part of the chest, their behavior would change. Staffers and volunteers at the Kansas Humane Society have been using the Weiss Walkie for a couple of years. People and dogs that go places together form a stronger bond, Weiss said, and a dog that goes for regular walks is a happier, healthier pet.
