When we had Nod, he used to be very reactive with other dogs on leash. A good trainer really helped me see what a difference a loose leash made. But I would get nervous when any small or big dog approached, it was hard not to hold the leash tight. I learned so much. She taught Nod to become a dream to walk and it really helped me with Ranger. I wish I could make it work the same way with his nails. But we are going to just get his nails done from now on.
