I felt so grown up and independent like it was all my choice to be walking down the street. Apparently I was a bolter too but all I remember is how much I loved that leash and how independent it made me feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-82098591864971013212010-10-27T20:27:27.751-04:002010-10-27T20:27:27.751-04:00Since her ears and hearing were so messed up befor...Since her ears and hearing were so messed up before the surgery she missed the whole 'this is how it goes' lesson on call back.<br />Not too anger anyone too much, but is there a bit of dog training positive enforcement you can enact until with her new super sonic hearing (relatively at least) she relearns the rules?johttp://amusebouche.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-40337401531031084322010-10-27T16:04:04.680-04:002010-10-27T16:04:04.680-04:00I would get one of those cute leashes with the bac...I would get one of those cute leashes with the backpack on it.

I can ask her- either you walk without running or wear a harness, and I'm hoping she will learn quickly.

I think you can loop it around your wrist so you're not full on walking your kid on a leash, and I BELIEVE the one with the bolter used it as reinforcement. Which is to say, she had him wear it and she held it, but she also pract8iced holding his hand while it was on and she wouldn't let him walk so far ahead that he'd pull the "leash." So basically it functioned like an emergency wrist strap for a stroller- it was there if he started to bolt, but otherwise she worked on getting him to listen and walk WITH her.Chatty Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741907859944987779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-2596116676392127842010-10-26T08:59:24.571-04:002010-10-26T08:59:24.571-04:00Definitely get one of those animal/backpacks with ...Definitely get one of those animal/backpacks with the harness - just until she's old enough to reason with!

I never had to personally use one, but I do believe there are situaitons that they can be a good toold when used properly and well where safety is concerned then its a good tool. get a harness thing. use it when you will be in dangerous situations where she can run into harms way-street, in front of cars in parking lots, etc.<br /><br />They make cute ones with animals. <br /><br />where i feel like they are bad is people who use them 24/7 rather than trying to teach the kids. <br />You are clearly trying and will continue to. Its a safety issue. <br /><br />HUGS <br />I know I keep saying it but this too shall pass.stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-23142539934207586802010-10-26T07:07:09.614-04:002010-10-26T07:07:09.614-04:00I'm sure you'll hear from many people who ...I'm sure you'll hear from many people who disagree, but until you can be sure she's safe I'd invest in one of those baby harness/leash things.
