Dog dragging me while 5 months pregnant

[vmvnpv]

I love my dogs.  However, one of them has been really dragging me a lot lately when on her leash.  (This is not normal behavior and no matter how much I use the training collar it doesn't phase her any more.)  It's really starting to hurt me in my abdomen area.  Like I have done 1,000 sit ups at once.  It is starting to worry me because I'm not sure if it is putting stress on the baby or not.  Anyone know?

(My husband normally takes her out but he's out of town until Friday and there's no one else to take her out for me so I have no other choice.)

Excellent.  Please let me know how it goes for you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!  I am definitely going to try this!  I really appreciate your response and easy to follow directions!

Take your dog leash and loop it twice through the handle or clip (whichever works best).  You should have a figure'8' with one loose end coming from the middle.  The whole thing should be loose enough at the center to slip.  Hold it in the middle, palm up.  With your other hand, put one loop around your dog's neck, snugging it up behind his ears and under his chin (your 'holding hand' is now under his chin as well).  Put the other loop over his muzzle, then use the loose end to snug it all up.  The loose end is connected under his chin.  You now have total control of his head, no choking, and he can open his mouth, also.  If he fights this, let him do it until he gets used to it.  There is no way for this to harm him.  Only use this leash configration for supervised walks.  Hope this helps.
