What the puppy trainer taught me (and it's worked for me) is when she pulls I simply stop walking, and then wait until I can get her attention by saying her name once or she will look back to see why I've stopped walking. Tap your pant leg and call her back and when she gets to you praise her. She often walks in front of me and the trainer told me that should be acceptable (it has nothing to do with dominance) as long as she isn't pulling and I decide when/where we go.

@Karma: Hi, My 7 months Basenji just got neutered and the rash and hives started after his surgery, he was fine before that. He started getting rash on his belly and broke out in hives. We took him the vet and got him treated, yet the rash and small little hives are still there. We were instructed to give him Benadryl every 8 hrs. Currently he's on Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Dog Food, which contain no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. I dont know what else to do because he's having trouble sleeping at night. How soon after being neutered? Is the surgery site healed? And I would have to think of a yeast infection… and since the benadryl has not cleared it up, I would insist on the Vet taking a further look. Also, is he on any meds from the surgery?
