MonElite Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 My Divani has injured her back. Gary Barnsley said that she is too fat (well I know that ) and that she needs to strenghten some tendons in her lower back. she gets excercised fair bit, all off lead running and swimming, but when she runs free she mostly galops, where Gary advices me that she should be walking or trotting but PULLING ON LEAD I have trained her of course not to pull on lead. So now the question - how do I teach her to pull and how dont I undo the training I have done with her? And she is on a diet if anyone asks, right now she feels underprivilidged and very unhappy but oh boy does she love me whan I have any type of tood in my hand She used to have higher prey drive than food drive, now - toy? - forget it! where is my food? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can learn to pull on the harness (get a proper Y-type one) but still learn to walk nicely on a collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Myszka if the aim is improved front end muscle, it's actually bloody hard to do that unless she pulls weight. I'd be getting her swimming every chance you could. Edited December 3, 2007 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 no its lower back. I can get her to swim every day but the water she swims in is a bit iffy, its a storm water run off into a dam and I think its not doing any good for her coat. But its easy - she wil fetch a ball from the dam all day long if I let her. Or doG forbid I say - get the ducks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Oh yay, Divani can join our sledding team. It was destined to be a bit unbalanced with only three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) You will have to put Angel in front of Divani and she can chase her than all day long Edited December 3, 2007 by myszka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 PF - you will be happy to know she swam yesterday for about 45 minutes, pretty much non stop and very happy . I got soaked in the rain :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
