Because my two year old Cocker has a high prey drive , and because she is prone to diappearing on scents, oblivious to us, I decided with spring looming I need to keep her under more control as I dont want her getting over excited and going somewhere she could get hurt or even shot. I have longline which I have tried to use, but she just gets to the end of it and pulls like a train, sadly she has had most of her life off lead, and this new approach is making her miserable and leaving me raging and in tears. I hate her being restricted, and I hate being dragged everywhere, I could try dropping the line, but she'll just zoom off...Doesnt help that I cant walk fast as I walk my older dog with her (11 yrs) and she doesnt really want to rush about like Amber does. I really am at my wits end, of course she has had no training whatsoever, as my OH thought it was above him to listen to me....now he doesnt even come with us or ever take them out...I am left with the problem, but tahts tough after all I wanted the dogs....
