What harness is the best and most comfortable for my dog. It would also have to work with a tie out stake. The one i have she just pulls right out of it. I think it might be a little big but the next size down is to small. It is the vest kind. Maybe
I would recommend that you take Halo to a pet store, like PetCo, so you can try out different types of harnesses. There are many different styles, and the best fit will depend on many factors, including the size and shape of Halo. If you use it with a tie-out, then make sure that it can't cinch down tighter when she pulls, since that could be uncomfortable and may cause breathing issues.

When should i start walking my Siberian Husky puppy she’s 9 weeks old? Also she has all her shots taken care i Believe but when i take her out to porch or when for her first car ride she didn’t wanna walk i had to pick her up
3. WalkingtheOtherWay In order to reinforce a dog’s natural tendency to follow, once your dog pulls out in front, you should turn quickly and walk the other way. Reward once you feel slack on the collar. This can cause a walk to go no more than a few feet at the beginning, so be patient. The pull back should only be strong enough to get your dog’s attention. Excessive force, especially when using choke chains, may cause neck trauma. For more information, please contact your veterinarian or a trainer who uses humane training methods.

Hello, 1-toothpaste:using petsmile,no complain,but pricey.Other enzymatic toothpastes like sentry petrodex,virbac cet,nutri vet are good too? Or petsmile is the best of the best? Having greenie daily too. 2-itch relief shampoo:vet suggested wash paws
Nikki is adorable! Thanks for including pictures! Yes, PetSmile is expensive, but it is one of the only toothpastes to actually be approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is a list of their approved products. http://www.vohc.org/VOHCAcceptedProductsTable_Dogs.pdf PetSmile is what I use with my dogs. (Last year they ran a 25% off sale before Christmas, so I stocked up!) Yes, it is fine to use Dawn on Nikki's feet daily, but I suspect any gentle cleaner would be fine as well. You may have to experiment to find the best shampoo for her. I have been very pleased with EarthBath products, so you might want to try their Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo for itch relief. https://earthbath.com/product/oatmeal-aloe-shampoo/ There are also prescription itch relief shampoo and conditioner products if needed that you can talk to your vet about. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

How to teach loose leash walking? She is 90 percent good most of the time. Just at the dog park she’d pull to the gate wooing and barking at the other dog(once inside she is very respectful and most social dog there she also never barks at other dogs
When going to the dog park, I recommend that as soon as she starts to pull, immediately turn around and go away from the dog park for at least 10 steps, then you can turn back and try again. When she starts to pull, once again turn around and take 10 steps away. Give positive reinforcement with treats when she walks by your side where she is supposed to. The goal is to teach her she will get to the park faster if she doesn't pull. Blowing leaves are often a big trigger, and dogs want to chase them. This can be harder to directly train for because the wind is unpredictable. One thing you can do is give Sie a command to look at you. This can be "look", or "Sie", or another word you choose. She should look at you, and not at the treat. She only gets the treat when she looks at you. But if she can learn to stop what she is doing and look at you and away from whatever she finds interesting, this can help with many issues. Then on windy days, you can ask her to sit as the leaves blow by,

We have an 11 year old mixed breed. She is wonderful at home and whenwe go to the dog park but when we go into Petco she goes crazy and starts jumping on me and not listening. Help please Any suggestions? She is 85
She smells a lot of exciting things there , food , other animals. I suggest you do not take her with you for two reasons: 1( you do not need her to learn that she can jump at you and misbehave. So the best is not to even expose her to that situation 2) there are many dogs there and you do not know their health and vaccination status. It is quite possible for your dog to pick up some condition, This is valid for all situations in which she could come in contact with dogs you do not know, and she would not even have to sniff them or engage in physical contact. I think this will solve the problems.
