    Hope you don't think I'm sticking my nose in, but would hate for you to get one and then discover what we discovered.

    Thanks Suzy. No its all good thanks, sadly I seem to be the only one taking him for a walk just now so any help is helpful. Sadly I read this after buying a retractable one :rolleyes: At least I didnt have to pay for it as lil bro payed for it. He is ok on it but still pulls a bit. I will have a think about the halti leads. They are only £10 but at the momment its money I dont really have :o We will see how it goes, lil bro says he will take him to training classes but that hasnt materialised...

    Finally Debt Free...
  • my mum took all 4 of my credit / store cards and paid them off and shredded them... i feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. and it is all thanks to this site, forcing me to be more responsible about how i handle my cash. when my mum saw that i was really trying she took pity on me with my 39.9% APR cards, i was always taking one step forward, two steps back. now instead of making minimum payments that barely cover interest, i have 10 payments to make to my lovely non-interest charging mummy, and i am free.

    but just because i don't owe the bad men any money anymore, i'm still gonna use this site, and especially this forum, to be sure that i don't fall into the old habit of living beyond my means.

  • I use a halti on one of my dogs, he trys to fight it, and ends up with one side over his eye. But it does help alot, he is as strong as an ox, and I couldn't walk him without it. It's more effective on a shorter lead I find, I have more control over him that way.
