[quote=Anonymous]Just say no, OP. "Balanced" is just PR spin on outdated, fear-based training methods. You want a force-free/fear-free trainer who will work with you to find the right equipment (Gentle Leader? EZ Walk harness? Freedom harness?) as well as on leash manner cues and relationship-building. I highly recommend KissAble Canine and Dog Latin (in-home) or Your Dog's Friend and Woofs (class-based). You'll have to be patient - total leash training around all kinds of distractions is tough and takes time. But I've trained two previously-reactive large dogs to have solid leash manners (well...the older one is solid. The younger one still has her moments!) using all positive methods and it's worth it to have that kind of relationship, versus one based on force, fear, or scary collars![/quote]
