Gizmo: now the dog that heels

         Woman walking miniature poodle early in the morning.  They are approaching Gizmo and me.  She is forced to walk in the street because of her yapping, pulling dog, giving the entire sidewalk to us. 
         The tiny poodle is yipping, whining and making enough noise to waken half the neighborhood.  He is also pulling on the leash trying to get to Gizmo when his owner doesn’t want him to. 
         Gizmo glances at him, but continues to walk on a loose leash, not pulled tightly, obeying me.  A perfectly well-behaved dog.  AH, PROGRESS.

     "Dachshunds are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other." - Robert Benchley
