Ellie is 13 weeks old now. I want to get her into training classes but there is a 2 month waiting list.... Yesterday I was talking to the lady who runs the classes and has 2 Cavaliers of her own. She was telling me that I must get Ellie used to walking on the lead. I told her that I had taken Ellie out around the park, and how amazed I was that she wasn't afraid of anything.....ducks, dogs, tractor noises etc. She does pull and I know that is somthing I have to address.
But this is what she told me to do and I would like your opinion on this one....she said.....I MUST let her off the lead in a quiet spot. Take plenty of treats with me. She assures me tha Ellie will come back when I call her because she will be afraid of loosing her Mummy ( me).... I told her that Ellie is VERY out going and afraid it seems of nothing. She said that is a good thing and again said Ellie would still want to come back to me as she is still a baby...........Personally I think she will run off and not come back when I call her. But I am not the expert.....what do you think??
