However, we are at the stage of making him circle to strengthen his grip and ran into a problem: Malik simply likes to follow me with the puppy tug right against my ankles. This is a habit he's had since he was little, playing with toys. So it's impossible to make him go in a circle, he just sticks to my feet. I've tried going faster but that makes me dizzy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> so I wonder if anyone has encountered that before and what can I do about it? Thanks ahead.

The trick is to learn to walk in a tight circle while your dog runs to the outside of you - as long as you're moving in a circle you can avoid spinning in the same place, which is what makes you dizzy. Try that and see how it works for ya! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The Fetz dog: http://www.leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/79673/page/25
