    Yeah Adser, thats what i mean. They cannot be bought in any shops over here, only online.
    That lady Niko, must be buying them in bulk from the supplier and selling them on.

    hi there, i am actually attending dog classes with my dog, and he has learned a lot but he is still pulling regardless of what he has learned so far! He will pull for the first ten minutes of the walk and then calm down but just gets very excited when he sees other dogs or people! Thanks for the advice.

    Good stuff!

    A well trained dog will be able to accompany you without the need for restraint. That is what you should be aiming for, and it is great to read you are taking a responsible attitude to ownership.

    Eh, no it doesnt??:confused: Huskies arent on the restricted breeds list.
    Please be very careful about posting incorrect information about Laws if you arent sure, as this could confuse people.

    I think you need to check that again, huskies do not have to be muzzled, clearly i would have him on a leash as regardless what breed you have, all dogs should be on a leash! And im sure he will achieve the "well trained dog" as he progresses in his class but since he has only started a month ago, he still is only learning and he is still very young, but im sure with patience and a dogmatic, we will both get there!

    Sorry, I had been addressing to the OP and thought it was the OP who'd replied.

    so naturally I thought you were the OP. I will amend my previous post, but I expect you can see how the confusion arose
