Zorro is a big 2-year-old Siberian Husky, who began working with Avi Kornblum, from Affordable Compassionate Dog Training, about three weeks ago. Upon meeting us, Avi noticed that the harness and leash combination we were using was counterproductive to our goal, as it facilitated his pulling, and was exactly wrong for a husky. After changing the harness and leash and learning the right commands, Zorro responded well. He is learning not to bolt out the door without permission, to leave calmly, and is starting to walk more easily without pulling. As his parents, we are learning how to teach him to heel, and he is happy to receive praise for a job well done. Our decision to use Avi came from reading his profile, so we knew he was experienced with our type of dog. We could not use just anybody, because huskies are instinctively different than other dogs. We found out that we needed to be trained first before the dog could be directed. Words have specific meaning to the dog, for example, come and let’s go are not the same and produce different results in the dog. We are looking forward to the day we can walk him around other animals with him paying attention to us and not to them. Good job Avi!!!! We thank you and Zorro thanks you!!!
