[Fluff] Trail walking success!!!

Gin is a great city walker but a god awful trail/nature walker. She tugs and lunges at the air, she does ignore other dogs though because she's too in love with the woods.

We tried taking our trainers advice, didn't work. Food bribes meant nothing to her. She would spit out hot dogs, cheese, chicken, etc. All of this combined with either the EasyWalk or Ruffwear Front Range Harness had zero effect on her.

Finally I said screw it and borrowed a gentle leader from work. OMG guys it was like I had a new dog. She was walking slow, no lunging, only needed minor control (aka not digging my feet in) I'm so excited to have a new tool for us to enjoy our walks! Now my wrists won't hurt and I'll still have circulation in my hands!
