Ugh, I know what you mean. It's so easy to go soft on a product you didn't pay for. Like, if the camera is fuzzy, you might say it's 'good enough' instead of calling it out, or brush off a bad battery because it was free. But that's not fair to buyers. They need the real downsides. I list every flaw to keep myself honest.

Glad to hear that worked for you. How exactly do you do the stop-and-go method? Do you stop completely when the dog pulls, or just slow down? I've tried similar things with my dog, but he gets confused. What kind of treats or rewards do you use to keep him focused? How long did it take for your dog to catch on?

From what I've seen, if every local tip gets published, those spots won't stay quiet for long. Maybe that's why they leave them out.
