I cannot believe how much Archie has manned up in the last few months. We had 2 good sessions with a trainer who has experience with Welshies. She, herself works with another trainer who competes with Welshies. So last week we had a session with a prong after giving a martingale collar a try. He did really well! Not sensitive at all. He's a complete hunting dog outside. The difference between his inside dog and outside dog is so dramatic I'm still impressed by it. I tried the collar on the walk on my own today. He had plenty of corrections on the walk but he also had some good stretches walking beside me. The goal is to ultimately transition to a martingale. All the videos I watched on the collar seemed so harsh that I didn't want to give it a chance. But my back went out so I can't have him pull me. The way the trainer taught me to use it was much more gentle yet effective. My hope has been restored!
