Preacher has assisted in a handful of my trainings and outings. Leading by example, projecting confidence, and setting the tone . Anyone who knows me, knows I’m hard ass when it comes to training and I set the bar extremely high for preacher. Sometimes I can be a little ungrateful for all the hardwork he puts in. All I can say is thank you, and I all I can I do, is better. Happy birthday buddy 💙

This is a true statement. Harnesses are advertised to be more “ethical” and “humane” for walking a dog than a collar, but research has shown they cause more harm then good.

Dogs generally pull about 60 per cent harder on a leash when wearing a padded harness compared with a collar, even when the equipment is marketed as “anti pull” – putting the people walking them at risk of injury.

Some dogs – especially smaller breeds – pull with a force more than twice their body weight on the collar, potentially damaging their throats, says Erin Perry at Southern Illinois University.

“It’s really very shocking,” she says. “The dogs are almost choking themselves on that collar repeatedly. But the harnesses in our study just didn’t inhibit pulling in any way, and that’s definitely a wake-up call – especially because of the risk to owners.”

Snuggled up with teachers coat after an educational training session. Didn’t even mind sitting by himself to watch his brother’s session. Husky’s are definitely on the list of dogs you need an enormous amount of patience to work with. Our entire session consisted of inside brain work and Zeus is BEAT
