Walk To Heel Can Stop Dogs Pulling On Lead

By teaching your dog to walk to heel can help stop your dog pulling on the lead. Your dog should be happy to walk at heel, on lead and off. However, your dog cannot be expected to do this if you don't take the time to teach him or where the heel position is.

The heel position is next to your left or rights leg and the dog close to your knee. You can also link this command to others, such as 'sit' or 'down'. If you have more than one dog, it would be the dominant dog that will try to get there first. The other dog will then make do with walking close to your right leg. Just go along with this arrangemnt shuould make it much easier to control the dogs.

Chinese Fur Farms

This needs to be STOP NOW

Cnina supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imprted for sale in the United States. Investigators went undercover in the Chinses fur farms; they found that many animals are turned on their back, hung up by their legs or tail and then skinned a live. When the fur farms begin to cut into the skin and fur from the animals legs, the fee limbs kick in agony. Workers stamp on the necks and heads of the animals who struggle to hard.

Once the fur is finally peeled off over the head of the animal, their bloody bodies are thrown into a pile of other skinned animals. Some of them are still alive, breathing for up to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One of the investigators recorded a skinned racoon dog that was still alive after being skinned, lying on a heap of carcasses, found strength to lift his blooded head and stare into the camera.
