Dear Ferret Folks- DO NOT START A THREAD ABOUT THIS, PLEASE! I just want to thank the many folks who suggested that I get my dog, the Noble Allis Chompers a "Halti" or "Gentle Lead" for her leash pulling problem. Thank you so very, very much! It has literally changed her life, and by extention, ours. For the very first time, we were able to take her with us on vacation and she was well enough behaved on her leash that she was able to go with us *everywhere* that the law permitted! She didn't have to spend hours trapped in the car with the windows rolled down parked in the deep shade, bored out of her mind, or left behind at the campsite. We went to Acadia Nat'l Park and she went on all the trails *with* us! She scrambled up mountains and ran along the rocks at the shore. She ended each day dirty, salty, and having peed on the pee of a hundred other dogs. She ended each day of vacation *completely* exhausted from all of the fun things she got to see and do. It was our first, best, true 'family' vacation. My husband and I are *so* greatful! And so is Allis. Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 5624]
