The first couple of times we used the bridge it was fine but the time came when we where in the middle, with two trains crossing right next to us and the dogs hated it. The next couple of times they refused to even approach the bridge willingly. So I now put them back on their normal leather lead, kept it nicely slack and just carried on across like normal. Samething with the trains passing us, keep the leather lead nice and loose and just keep on walking. Wednesday Boo who was the worse of the two, just carried on walking with a train flying 10 feet away , whilst Davey stopped to have a look round before he continued. You don't have the same sort of communication with a flexi as you do with a nice leather lead. I struggle to give any guidance with them, actually I struggle to control with them, but I know I'd not be able to get them to cross that bridge with any semblence of acceptance. It might be worth trying with a normal lead and see how you got on?
