Well that's good that you've been watching Cesar! So you walk your little guy beside you and he pulls? I'd say make sure you leave the house before your pup does and return the same way. Don't leave to house until your pup is calm. After you leave the house have him by your side keep the leash very short if he starts pulling give a quick jerk on the leash and say something like "hey". Keep doing this, he should get the point pretty quickly. If that doesn't work i'd try to lure him with food. Have a treat in your hand that he REALLY likes and let him sniff it, place the treat just out of his reach as you walk. If he wants the treat he won't go ahead of you.
As for the big dog problems. I'd try to have a big dog around him, not close to him but so he can see it. Everytime he starts going nuts jerk his leash and make him sit. Whenever he sit, reward his behavior. Anytime he starts claming down reward him. But be careful to not reward while he's in his "mode". If he won't sit, grab him and lay him on his back so his tummy is up. He should calm down, giving you the chance to reward the calm behavior.
I wouldn't use a harness because that wouldn't fix his pulling problem. |
