How To Stop Your Dog From Pulling On The Leash While Walking
Dogs which pull on their leash while walking with you is a common problem seen among many different breeds. This problem can be seen in puppies as well as adult dogs. Dogs which pull on their leash while you walk this is more than just aggravating. If the leash breaks, the dog could run and put itself or others in danger. You should want to walk your dog, not have it walking you.
There are a number of different reasons why your dog will pull on the leash.
Some dogs are so happy to go for a walk that they are out of control, and are anxious to move about. Other dogs see themselves as being the leader, and will move forward with force because they feel that they are moving ahead of the pack. If you r dog is very happy about going out, it may help to give them some time to calm down. You can stand still with the dog for a few minutes until they become more relaxed.
If the dog feels that it is the leader, this is a sign that you should begin training him. The owner has to show the dog that they are the leader.
When you don't have this understanding with your dog, it will be impossible to train them properly. If your dog shows signs of control, it is best to go back to simple obedience training. If you don't have the time to train the dog yourself, it may be best to send them to a dog training school.
The instructor can train you as well as your dog, and they can show you how to keep the dog from trying to be the leader. Skilled instructors should always work with both you and your dog. The first step in getting the dog not to pull on the leash is to get it to accept the collar.
If the dog is moving around a lot while you are trying to put on the collar, this is a sign that your dog will pull against the leash. Start by commanding your dog to sit or stay while you put on the collar. If the dog gets up after you've put on the collar, make him sit back down quickly.
You should only walk the dog after it sits down calmly and allows you to put on the collar and leash. Once the collar is on, don't allow the dog to jump up and rush ahead towards the door. Gently pull back on the leash.
Make him sit back down again, and repeat the process until he gets the message.

Writers Block Strategy: So what's next?
When the Wicked Witch of the Blank Page (or screen) shows up and turns your brain into mush, it can be really hard to keep your bottom in the chair and come up with something so that you can honestly say you wrote today.
However, no matter how much she waves that wand around, there are a number of things you can do to drop the metaphorical house on her head and squash her flat.
One of my favorites is the "what's next" technique.
If you take a look at the scene you're working on right now and haven't a clue as to what to do with it or how it should go, start making notes or a list of what is going to happen later.
This can be the very next scene or even later in the story.
Chances are you have at least a glimmer of what's going to happen down the line.
It doesn't have to be super concrete or written down.
Even a vague idea about what you think might happen down the line will work.

Girls Gone MILD
Voices!So many voices crying out for adherence and so many people confused about values, virtues and life. What voices are calling out to you and what voices are you listening to? My daughter is just now enjoying her first year in life. As I listen to the voices calling out to young ladies these days, I can't help but wonder what the popular trend will be when she has to decide which voices she will lend an ear to.As she enters young adulthood, I hope this is what she finds.I hope the popular trend of the day is a video craze called, "Girls Gone MILD!" No, that's not a misprint!I hope it is popular because it depicts women in the following ways:* As more than full-of-brandy eye candy and toys-for-boys* As pillars in the community instead of pillows for the community* As being more concerned about innocence lost than being "not that innocent"* As valuing their bodies and it shows by how they use them instead of showing them using their bodies to be valued* As valuing being wanted for...
