Nanette… Our dog is used to pulling at his lead / leash when he’s working & on duty as my wife’s work partner (she’s a police K-9 officer). He’s a 90-pound German Shepherd & when he’s getting worked up to go after a suspect, my wife has a “quick release” mechanism so he can take them down. Fortunately, my wife possesses incredible upper body strength & can hold him until she knows it’s time to set him loose. The strain on a dog’s neck can be a concern, especially if its collar may be a little tighter than it should be. The last thing I’d want is for the dog to be harmed in any way.

That is awesome teamwork with your wife and dog. Obviously she has put in tons of work with him so that he understands when he can pull 🤩🤩🤩

Most dogs in my neighborhood are pets who pull like freight trains 🤦

Yeah… Jett is almost 7 years old now & she’s been training & working with him since he was just a 9 month old puppy, so they’ve developed quite the bond & understanding over the past several years ✊😌🐕
