Just look at my dog. Isn’t she the cutest little thing?

Now you would think that it’s a real treat to take her for a walk.  It’s actually the most frustrating thing ever.  She constantly pulls and chokes herself, even when wearing a harness.  When we get about ½ mile from home, she’s so exhausted that she must be carried the rest of the way.  Sometimes she even makes herself sick from all the pulling!!  I’m sure the neighbors get a big kick out of watching us struggle through the neighborhood.  When I received the Instant Trainer Leash, I was a little hesitant to use it and put myself my dog through all that.  But we gave it a go.

First of all, the Instant Trainer was really easy to hook up.  My dog weighs about 12 pounds and some leashes just overpower her with their bulk and weight.  I really liked how light this leash was.  It was a little confusing at first to get it on her, but I followed the instructions and eventually we figured it out.  It just attaches to your dog’s collar and wraps around the dog’s middle.  The problem was, we never made it out of the door.  Poor thing, she just kept spinning around in circles to try to figure out what was wrapped around her stomach.   I would have taken a picture but I didn’t have the heart, I had to get it off of her.  I think with more exposure to it, she could really get used to it and enjoy walking. I can definitely see how the Instant Trainer would be more comfortable than traditional leashes.  If my little dog could figure out that she controls the leash by not pulling, she might really enjoy walking.  For now, though, this wasn’t exactly instant for us.  We’ll keep trying!!

The Instant Trainer leash is available online.
