I have done this and it works but after a while he starts to pull again and it gets so tiring, idk how he doesn't get tired of pulling so much. He chokes himself even though he wears a harness. I rarely give treats unless they pay attention and are behaving. But it's not just the leash waking, it's also when im home and want to go somewhere they all go crazy and bark at each other, it makes it hard just to get out the door. And other little things, but other than that at home they are not bad at all, for the most part they are good. |
Our trainer told us this too! She said if they are pulling and when they start to bark to change directions and walk that way and if they start, to change again. She said for awhile you may not get very far and you may be walking in circles, but they will learn eventually!
She also said if they are going nuts barking, jumping,etc.. when you are trying to get their harnesses on to go for a walk. She said to put them down and leave the room or turn your back until they calm down and try again. She said don't chase them if they run or don't even put them on if they are barking and acting hyper!
