Glad to hear the fur faces are furry again.

Re: manners.. Don’t reward bad behavior. Only give them attention when they are behaving.

I can’t walk both of mine at the same time.. Even though they are generally well behaved they get some kind of competition thing going on and don’t always listen to me.

Try a Halti for walking. Halti was the only way I could break Solly of ‘charging’..She was like trying to walk a bull..

We’ll work on ignoring them when they are acting incorrectly. I did buy a gentle leader and try it, but I don’t think I was working it correctly. The halti looks different, though similar to the gentle leader (more robust). I’ll see if I can find one and give that a try. Walking Liberty is like trying to walk a bull also. Freedom starts out trying to lunge ahead, but after a short while will walk beside me.
