Hello all!
Koda has transformed into a stellar walker these last two weeks and I am over the moon about it! After 8.5 months of fearing the walks we are on the right track.
We learned in our class how to properly train the heel position and to use it on walks when we want her back by our side. She does this willingly now.
The question is that my husband is adamant about training her to walk the entire walk by his side. This is more future based as we will want to take her on walks with strollers when we have kids and don't want to worry about her pulling and the stroller going with her.
My thought is that if she is on a walk she shouldn't be training the whole time and we should cut her some slack to have some freedom. Am I right here?
The only point that he makes is how will she know when she needs to stay back by us and when she can be a little ahead of us...?
Any help would be great!
