[quote=Anonymous]I just had an intake/evaluation with a potential dog trainer. The issue we're having with our just-adopted, adult dog is that he pulls on the leash, to the extent that my kids can't safely walk him (and it's not so pleasant for adults). The trainer we met with today described his approach as "balanced," where he uses positive reinforcement at the beginning to teach the dog the expectations, but then uses corrections if the dog doesn't follow instructions after that. That made me uncomfortable, as did the way he yanked on the leash to correct my dog during the intake. But if it's necessary, I guess I'll consider it. And, while we're at it, recommendations for a trainer that uses only positive methods?[/quote]
