The Limp
Posted on May 14, 2008
liame has been dealing with a soft tissue injury for well over a month now (yes, we had it xrayed just incase). i dont know exactly how he got it but i blame myself for it. in all honesty i think it was from me jerking his head around while he had his gentle leader on. sometimes i got so frustrated with him pulling me down the street and not paying attention to me that i would practically yank his entire front half of his body back into position beside me. up until a few weeks ago, i didnt realize that you were not supposed to “yank and crank” the leash when a dog is wearing a gentle leader (or halti) because it can cause injury. i stopped doing it after i heard it but it seems like every time i put the gentle leader on and gently guide him into position, it once again aggravates his injury and im left with a limping puppy.
