Simoman 110 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 there is a feww thing you can do but the easiest is just keep the dog on a short leaddont allow it to walk infront of you the lead ive got him on is 48" so he usually walks in front of me My leads are between 3/6 feet but the dog is taught to walk at my side..................

thomps125 49 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 i find if i put the lead right high up so its almost behind the ears it stops mine in his tracks n he walks sensibly. the lead is a run of the mill rope type but when working him i use huh hmmmm a STRONG STUFF collar and STRONG STUFF slip lead :clapper: i do the same with a rope lead right up to the back of the skull behind the ears n hold the head up it got my bitch to stop pulling after 10minits and got her perfect for the show ring ..when my mom trys and walks her she lets the lead dangle n the dogs all over the place for her haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
edzy 3 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Who is the boss ? give em an inch they take a mile when your dog is in front of you he is in charge and asumes he can do what he likes keep him behind you or by your side and never let him in front of you that means you are in charge and he has to listen to you best way to start this is get your self a walking stick and every time he trys going in front wave it in front of him and make a shhh sound i would recomend a light tap on the chest he will get the idea once he has had a tap he wont do it again this will work for any dog i walk my 4 terriers and long dog with out a leads on now and they all zig zag there way behind me just waiting for me to give them a command and who said terriers cant be trained just takes time good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 My bull x walks perfectly most of the time know a few who walk properly.Short lead for starters then keep reiterating the stay in command and tow the dog back make it sit then after a few seconds walk on and repeat as needed.Or randomly stop spin in a circle and then carry on doing so till he gets it that every time he pulls you make him look like a daft ass by making him fly round in a circle when he doesnt like to.Changin direction unexpectadly does it too its all down to time and patience though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dances Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 the easiest solutions is to turn around, the reason they pull is they are expecting you to walk that way, so as soon as he pulls turn 180 degrees. spend 10 minutes a day doing this and hell be fine within a week.

Electric collars are a very useful tool in the right hands and I have used them many times in different situations but again I think that pulling on the lead is not the right situation, and yes I have seen Spike, I was with Aaron when he bought him. My method WILL work, of that I have no doubt, as for a bet i'm not a betting man but I'm seeing Aaron in a few weeks and it won't take a couple of hours to sort One thing i have noticed over the last few years and this isn't aimed at anyone in particuar is that many people want a quick fix and use a collar as a lazy tool rather than put some effort in...............
