| Okay, so my dog is a serious hater. She hates cameras. This is the best I could get of her, and it was a sneak-attack on my part. Hahah. Her name is Scooter. |

There are easier and less painfull ways to learn you dog not to pull. |

| my dog never got to see any other dogs or people or anything but her backyard when she was little, plus she has always been almost blind, so when we finally got her she was a mess, she's still frightened of a lot of things, but she's getting more used to life. you'd be surprised how well dogs will do off leash. even my blind scaredy dog does fine, even better then when she's leashed actually. we started with having her dragging a really long leash along, and carrying a stick to hold out to the side of you to keep her from passing in front of you. if she ever got ahead we stepped on the leash and told her to "slow". then put her back behind and held out the stick to keep her from passing. at first they'll hate having to always be behind you instead of 3 miles ahead, but they learn. she knows the word "slow" so if she ever starts speeding up after anything we use that. it's all pretty easy! just takes time. and you said you don't have a dog? i hope you can have one soon! |

| cats either really like or really dislike me, while dogs pretty much always like me.
Cat's are just weird, a bit like bunnies, there's no real use for them, unlike dogs.
and dogs look funnier :p |

it's all pretty easy! just takes time. and you said you don't have a dog? i hope you can have one soon! The picture was of our dog, mostly my moms, I do little with him. So I don't call him my dog. The cat is mine! I won't be able to get a dog soon, don't have the time for a dog or the money and place. |
