Gentle leader

Today was obviously the first time she ever had a Gentle Leader on, and she really didn't like it.
Walked with her, praising profusely. Thankfully, we didn't meet any dogs or cats on this walk... there really is no option, she has to go with this till she is fully trained on the leash to not pull. Hopefully she will learn in time, otherwise this will be a permanent fixture. She is a very strong dog, and utterly undisciplined on the leash, and extremely reactive with cats and other dogs. If I don't, it's only a matter of time that somebody gets hurt.

I really hope this next week will show much improvement. I'm going to start taking her out back on the Gentle Leader too, past the chickens and bunny. I think she won't be able to lunge and jump like she did before, tomorrow will show one way or the other.

I wish the weather would improve, so we could go sit in the garden and desensitise her a bit. I already see some progress with the chickens (and rabbit too, she stiffens and fixates but does not immediately lunge any more) but it needs to go a lot faster and deeper, I want her "bombproof" with these animals asap.


PS fyi, I'm so busy with training her, almost every minute spent with her has some training element in it... so I'm not taking as many pictures as I'd like.
