Don’t be a Yanker!!
Don't be a Yanker!!
And even worse, stop paying a "professional" Dog Walker or a Dog Trainer to be a Yanker - On your precious, best mate
Your dog deserves better.
A slip lead is a noose.
The Oxford Dictionary defines a noose as:
"a loop which tightens as the rope or wire is pulled and used to trap animals or hang people"
Read that again.
It's what is used to hang people.
And you're handing over your money to pay for your Dog Walker or your Dog Trainer to use a slip lead on your dog?!! They'll give the lead a little yank to correct an undesirable behaviour but they'll probably use the word "pop" .... A little leash pop .... Because it doesn't sound as horrific as a "yank"
Perhaps your dog pulls when walking or perhaps he is reactive towards other dogs / people.
Imagine the sensation that is being caused around your dog's neck every time that "yank" happens
A skilled, well educated, ethical Dog Trainer will never need to use such a barbaric tool in order to train a dog.
There's no need for it.
If other, kinder, reward based training also works and also achieves the same results then why would you be a Yanker who causes discomfort & pain??
Stop being a Yanker.
Stop paying others to be a Yanker.
