It works through attaching your leash to the front chest strap, which means you will gain more control over your dog. When your dog pulls on its leash, it will be guided back towards you, naturally and gently discouraging him from pulling. The leash attachment at the chest prevents putting any pressure on your dog's throat and neck, which is especially important as this could cause tracheal damage. Run the dog to tire it out before attaching the leash and going for a walk. A tired dog is far more manageable and will be more responsive to your commands during the walk. Try playing fetch in the yard for 10 minutes before going on a walk. End training sessions on a happy success moment. Don't end it when he/she is messing up. Success is continuing to make progress. Never allow the dog to remain unhappy at the end of your training session.

SUMMARY: Get a head halter for your dog. Use a choke collar. Try a halti dog harness. Wear the dog out. Use positive reinforcement.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The standard Battleship game set comes with two boxes, one for each player. Each box opens to reveal two grids, one on each inside surface. If your game set does not include two boxes, plenty of red and white pegs, and at least six ship pieces, it will be difficult to use. Try playing on graph paper instead, as described below, or finding an online version of the game. Ships come in various lengths, taking up a different number of squares on the grid. The two players should have identical collections of ships. The following is the typical list, but if you don't have all the pieces, just make sure both sides are even: A single ship five squares long (the aircraft carrier) A single ship four squares long (the battleship) Two ships three squares long (the cruiser and the submarine) A single ship two squares long (the destroyer) With the boxes open, and the players seated across from each other, each player puts his ships down on the lower grid in front of him. Follow these rules to determine where to put your ships: Ships can be placed horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. You must place all five ships on the grid. Every ship must be completely on the grid. No ship can hang off the edge of the board. Ships cannot overlap each other. Once your ships are placed and the game has begun, you are not allowed to move your ships again. If the two players don't agree who should go first right away, flip a coin or decide in some other randomized way. If you are playing multiple games in a row, consider letting the player who lost the last game go first in the next one.

SUMMARY:
Give each player a battleship box. Check that all the ship pieces are there. Have each player secretly arrange their ships. Decide who will play first.
