How great that this question was asked today because I was going to ask it! Duffy is a year old now and he has just in the last month started pulling on his leash like a sled dog and sounds like Darth Vader with the breathing. He constantly wants to run ahead so he can lift his leg on every post and pole in town. I ignore his leg lifting and keep walking to try to discourage that but it hasn't been working. I walk him on a harness because I don't want to hurt his neck. He may be little but he is strong and as I have arthritus in my hands, keeping tension on his leash to keep him at my side starts hurting after a bit. Any suggestions to get him back to walking without the pulling?
