Well how do you feel about the notion of detransitioning ? <| sep |> You don ' t have to major in what you love , that ' s what hobbies can be for , but do try to major in something you like . You ' ll be doing it an awfully long time . <| sep |> You could AP glitch to buy him 150 . he doesn ' t come up overly often though . as often as the exclusives I find <| sep |> I think Trump qualifies as a worldwide issue . <| sep |> There are a lot of trainers who don ' t like retractable leashes and I always wondered why since I have one for my golden . The reasoning behind not recommending retractable leashes is that they maintain a steady pressure on your dog ' s collar . This can teach a puppy to always be pulling resisting that pressure . When it comes to teach your dog to walk on a loose leash and you ' ve let your puppy go around on a retractable leash you ' re going to have serious problems . More so than the usual challenges . Instead it ' s better to teach a puppy to walk on a loose leash first and once that is done really well you can , if you really want to , introduce a retractable leash . My golden followed that path which is why I always wondered what the trouble was . She knows how to walk on a loose leash and also knows how to enjoy being on the retractable leash . For my toller puppy no retractable leash for him . We ' re working on walking nice while leashed and being free my release word while offleash . Sometimes I ask him to walk with me when he ' s offleash and he will walk by my side . I keep those moments very short like 20 to 25 steps at most with lots of rewards for doing it then I let him free again . Eventually I plan on teaching heel , walk loose leash with a bit of freedom , near offleash and stay within 10 feet and free free roam . For now we have walk which is actually a very loose heel and free . To answer your question I ' m a proponent of letting puppies explore so I ' d use a command word to set the walk properly and then a release to let your dog go sniff and the like all while on leash . It will make training loose leash walking slower but . puppy right ? However , in my mind , if I can get my pup to walk with me onleash and go free onleash that makes doing the same thing offleash easier . I ' m probably deluding myself .
