There is a mixed group here lol! Great feedback.
BF has been using a halti on Oile because he still such a little goofball on walks. He only gets distracted when we walk him with the other dogs.
I use a regular collar with Suri, and a leather leash, LOVE THE leash way better than nylon - I took that advice a while back and its abig difference BUT we went on a walk last week for the first time with all the dogs. It didn't go to well.
BF was walking with the Poms and Olie ahead of Suri and I maybe 15 - 20 ft. We came up on a driveway with 2 unleashed dogs a boxer and pug no big deal they came running up to Olie and the Poms and the dogs barked a bit, but Suri wasn't having it. She jumped up and pulled me so hard my legs hurt for 2 days trying to hold her from pulling to race up to the dogs. It was not fear or aggression, I am not real sure what it was to be honest, but it took a quick minute to calm her and then it was over. It seemed more excitement than anything.
The neighbor apologized for them not being leashed - but at the same time, we walk our dogs, take them to parks and pet stores, and never had this reaction and I was not happy afterwards and my first thought was I have to change collars/leads.
So with that being said - what do you think?
For training we use regular everyday collars and leads - we also train off leash too.
