Pulling On The Lead And A Strange Snorting Sound

[pennyw74]

When I'm walking my four month old Cavalier, Izzy, she pulls and pulls on the lead, always wanting to run ahead.

She also makes this weird snorting sound. It sounds really horrible.

I'm just wondering...

a) how can I get her to stop pulling on her lead

b) what is that strange sound that she's making through her nose or mouth or both

c) how can I get her to stop making that sound

d) does this sound mean she's doing any damage to herself?

Thanks in advance for your help...

If the dog has a short snout it is probably reverse sneezing.

One of my current dogs suffers from this, it doesn't affect her but I have never been able to stop it once it starts.

Penny, its rather common in cavies, just hold the nose down, gently put her hand around her snout and hold her mouth closed.

Thank you. As long as it's nothing to really worry about. I have tried doing that. Even if I don't do anything, she will stop if after a few seconds, anyway.
