How can I feel more comfortable and confient walking my dog rather than using my bike?

Question by Makoce: How can I feel more comfortable and confient walking my dog rather than using my bike?

I usually take her for a bike ride rather than a walk — its because i feel like a target when i walk her.
if a dog runs after me down the street, i can petal away with her.
if there is a person walking down the street with a dog — i can pass before she notices and i can give a easier correction.
if something happens im just faster and slicker.

when i walk she jumps and pulls at other dogs, even with the prong collar and other corrections like cesar millan. if i body block she wraps up my feet, and if i turn her back to them she keeps turning around.
i feel stupid pulling on my dogs leash and making weird motions and such — especially sicne 95% of the people in my neighborhood have horrible dogs! So they wouldnt know dog training even if it smacked them in the face.
for some reason my parents hate the gentle leader
but agree with the prong

go figure x_X i dont get it either
maybe cause its misleading on the face

but i want to train her, not cloak over it
once you remove the head halter the dog isnt trained, just knows its not on and can do what it wants

Try a Gentle Leader. I use one with my APBT and it works wonders! Before buying it, he was a SUPER puller, but now if he tries to pull, I give a gentle tug and he settles right down.

***Well, then all you can do is train your dog to “Heel” on command. Seek a professional trainer to help if you need one***

How do you feel about that beef recall?

Question by Mz Senoir: How do you feel about that beef recall?

If I can remember:
about 143 million pounds of beef were recalled because of abuse towards sick animals in California. I found it horrifying to watch that 30 sec clip.

Answering the question “what do I want to be when I grow up” is incredibly hard for most people. It is very common to change your mind a lot. VERY common- knowing what you want to do, and holding onto that forever, is pretty uncommon. Some people never know the answer and simply have to find something good enough to make a living that won’t drive them crazy.

There are career counselors available at most high schools and colleges. If you are in school, check out if there is a guidance counselor or career counselor who can help you work through this a bit.
