bullmastiff 615 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I saw on the bird from Dog Borstal solve a dog pulling in about an 15 mins, although it will need reinforcing regularly. Hold the lead with a loop in your hand and start walking with the dog on your left, as soon as the dog starts trying to pull let go of the loop of lead, spin 180º clockwise around and walk the other way saying 'HEEL' just once as you turn. The dog will probably pay no attention at all until the lead suddenly snaps tight (your both momentarily heading in opposite directions) and drags him round and back to your left leg (collect your loop of lead again quickly). As he tries to walk past you again to start pulling, drop the loop saying 'HEEL' whilst turning 90º clockwise. just keep up the turns of varying length and angle until you pup/dog stops trying to predict were your going and has to follow you. (Sorry it's harder to describe than watch on telly!) but it worked on Roo! Take Care Luke. Quote Link to post
undisputed 1,664 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 This is something you should have sorted out when lead training your dog as a puppy. A choker lead might do the trick and as some of the guys have suggested heel training may also work. Just persevere...good luck! Quote Link to post

As I said it takes perseverance, depends on how much of an inconvienience it is for you. Quote Link to post
