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. |
I want you to try something. With a human push against them.... what is the response. They have to push back to balance.... ok now pull they have to pull back to balance. It one of those instinct things that we dogs and human a like do. if you pull they pull back.. so you have to do the opposite.
At the door start with just not going out do practices when they really do not need a walk and work on just sitting calm and if they do not you do not have to go out the door. Plus it tosses them off so they do not know when they will be going out.
