They were very specific about it being a gentle leader, not a halti or any other brand of head collar. So now all puppies in Colorado are fitted with a head collar the second they get off the truck and wear one until they get on the truck to leave. <br />Makes me wonder when/if other states will hear about this "new" policy!Maddie, Betsy, Jorinda, and Petuinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940256521867774105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646978000684609635.post-31919257039984324342010-10-12T10:31:19.547-07:002010-10-12T10:31:19.547-07:00It's so funny how things like this don't m...It's so funny how things like this don't make it around or do to different people or...well you know. Jim also said that we had to put the puppy jackets on over their heads now with the fron buckle still buckled to desensitize them to things going over their head. I think everyone in the group laughed because we had all been doing it for forever.Raiser Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15290705558126751663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646978000684609635.post-57728854355053373612010-10-11T22:16:51.063-07:002010-10-11T22:16:51.063-07:00I'm not sure when/if this became "formal&...I'm not sure when/if this became "formal" policy, but it has been in practice for years. Heck, I thought it was policy for the last 10 years or so since they started using head collars with guides. Maybe not all CFR's made it as clear?? Who knows! My raisers have been hearing it for years :)Cassie & The Dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512978333088603794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646978000684609635.post-42897830325033815292010-10-11T20:13:28.664-07:002010-10-11T20:13:28.664-07:00I doubt they wouldn't spend any time trying to...I doubt they wouldn't spend any time trying to get a dog in formal training used to a head collar but if they are introduced incorrectly and the reaction to them is extreme enough then sometimes it is possible that they could never be desensitized to them. I know it was strongly suggested before, I'm kind of glad they're trying to make sure the dogs are all on the same page! :-DAlly and Eclipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353928230130764060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646978000684609635.post-91623965193529959952010-10-11T17:03:11.825-07:002010-10-11T17:03:11.825-07:00Career Changed because a head collar?

Seems a little extreme to me...but then nobody asked my opinion now did they! ;-) <br /><br />But I really do hope that's not the case!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193391675658982926noreply@blogger.com
