I love all your videos but this one was funny...you are so patient! Kudos to Eli and the cats for being patient too!

@kkg30 Thanks for watching, it does take a lot of patience to raise a puppy :)

My own dog, Sprite, who is eight months old, still does not know how to walk on a leash without pulling. My parents want to get a choke collar for him, which I am hugely against. I would really like to get him a head collar instead, so here is my question;

how long did it take you to get Ricki used to using the head collar?

[GuideDogManiac]

Ricki is still getting used to her head collar. Some dogs take more time than others. My last puppy took to it right away, but the puppy that I had before her would refuse to walk with one so we couldn't use it. If you try a head collar on your dog make sure you understand how to use and fit it properly, give lots of praise (and treats don't hurt either) and most important be patient, it is a very different feeling to them. Good luck :)

@Fantasma1314 I got a head collar for my dog and he didn't seem to mind it much. All dogs are different.

[GuideDogManiac]

@eagoodwin1 Ricki is getting used to it. I have had some dogs practically put their noses into the head collars themselves and others that would refuse to walk while wearing one. Every dog is different and requires training tools that are right for them.

What was your favorite thing to pry out of Ricky's mouth this week? And by "favorite," I mean the grossest.

poor Eli

@elisewendelburg it takes some dogs some time to get used to it. if your dog is food motivated using a food reward helps a lot.

Hi! I have a standard poodle about 3 years old. I just introduced him to a head collar. He keeps pawing at it and won't walk with it on. Do you have any ways to keep him from pawing at it?

- Great vid, by the way!

Thanks!!!

How do you train a dog to come when she's distracted.

I love the video. I love the weekly segments. What are you currently doing for out of the house socialization? Is she going to any stores or anything like that yet, and how is that going? How are you handling that?
