How to stop my dog from pulling and barking at cars on city walks?
Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend using corrective collars like a pinch collar or gentle leader. These can help stop the pulling behavior. You may also look into the low voltage shock collars. These collars emit a small shock that is similar to being snapped by a rubber band. You can use this to correct the behavior and these collars can all be found online or at your local pet store. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Spayed dog escaping e-collar. What Petco alternative can I get today?
Petco should have an inflatable collar that works like an e-collar. It looks a lot like an inflated inner tube and it helps keep her from being able to turn her head far enough to reach her incision site.

How long and how often should my new puppy wear their collar?
Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the collar has Rocky's tags and ID attached to or on the collar itself, you'll want to keep this on him whenever he is out of the house (at parks, walks, day care, or even the back yard ) in case Rocky gets out or escapes. It is up to you whether you'd like to keep a collar on Rocky while inside the home, but it may be a good idea in case of an emergency or in case he slips out on accident. I hope this helps!

Head halter for dogs: Training, muzzle, & loose leash walking help?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Personally I love the gentle leader muzzle harnesses. It provides owners great control of their dogs. It does take a while to get the dog used to it and they still want to rub their faces on people to get them off. They do that in the exam room with me. I would gradually increase the time you have it on in the house before going on walks and give him treats or peanut butter while he has it on. That way he associates it with good things. I do think so people think it is a muzzle but more and more people know what they are. Personally if it makes your life easier I wouldn't care what some people think. I think people think more highly of the gentle leader than the prong collar. As for walking on a loose leash, it may help with that but it really depends on the dog. Some will take advantage when they know the leash is loose. The best thing to not have a dog pull is to train them to "heel," which is easier to do with the Gentle leader. I hope this helps!

How to help my 4-month puppy with fear of new experiences and leash?
Every pet is different in what it perceives as stress and how it responds to stress. Here is a link about introducing the leash: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-introduce-your-puppy-to-collars-leads/ Here is an article about socialization: https://www.petcoach.co/article/socialization-of-your-puppy/ Here is an article about training: https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-dog-puppy-training-rules/ Be patient, consistent and really focus on socialization. Working with a professional trainer would be beneficial and recommended as they can show you ways to modify your behavior to get the desired response. Best of luck.
