Then you can train your dog to walk to heel, and prevent them getting the opportunity to pulling on the lead. Every time your dog gets to pull on the lead in the middle of your training program, they are getting a chance to perfect the pulling habit and reducing the effect of all your hard training work.
Many people are allowed to weight bear on their heel after a few days, but make sure you discuss weight bearing specifics with your surgeon. You are usually in the walking cast for 4 weeks, then progress to a wide sneaker or tennis shoe for 4 more weeks. No running, jumping or playing with the other kids for at least 8 weeks, often 10 weeks. Pain management: Narcotic pain medication is often needed for a few days after surgery.
