if you look into the dogs eyes while you’re training, he will look to you as a leader. I can have staring contests and neither of us will fidget. It wasn’t always like that. Back in the day, Sal, my pup, used to bark and everything at me when I stared at her.

I heard that once you put pressure on top of the dogs nose, you can get your dog to do what you want… I dunno if that made sense but use the gentleleader dog leash collar thing… that works wonders. If they try to drag you, the leash will tug down and will put gentle pressure to the top of the nose! Just make sure it fits right so it doesn’t harm their eyes.

My pug does this thing where he looks like he is almost about to cry! His eyes stare at me jittering and watery! Then his body shakes really lightly and he gives off this sort of pout thing. But no matter what, I am consistant in his training and when he gets punished.
