A pulling dog can be a nightmare to take for a walk.  Here's an easy no fuss method of training that may help with a puller.

Meet Sasha
Jamie's new companion is a little border collie girl.  She's beautiful and is dying to have a go at agility.

Good teamwork
Sometimes you can learn a lot from watching top class handlers.  The video clip on this page shows some exceptionally good handling and I think you'll find it memorable.

OK,  So he's still a bit podgy here and there but he hasn't half done well.  Observations on slimming and links to articles on the dreaded bloat and a study of fat dogs versus thin.
