lungingWhen you take your dog out on leash, does it sometimes act like the Looney tunes Tasmanian devil character? Is it lunging at dogs or people? Taz, the Tasmanian devil character is often described as ferocious, short-tempered, impatient, devious but also sweet.

He is a swirling mass of emotion.

But your dog is not a cartoon character. And being the person on the end of the leash of such a dog can be embarrassing, frustrating, scary, and overwhelming.
