On Thursday afternoon I was delighted to help another wonderful couple train their 5-year-old Blue Heeler mix named Roman, who was being bombastic for the young couple due to the fact that he pulled terribly on walks on the leash, jumped on everyone as well as furniture given the opportunity, had no idea how to sit or stay in place, and was actively aggressive toward other dogs, causing concern for the couple when they took their nightly walks in the neighborhood. Now my owners have the tools and knowledge necessary to control this sharp-looking fella. Roman is walking smoothly on the leash that's shown in the photos below, sitting and staying in place, and returning nicely when calmed. He isn't jumping on anyone or anything unless permitted. His aggression has been curtailed regarding other dogs on walks for much more peaceful journeys. All training was accomplished without using food or treats for motivation.
