The first 5 min. of the walk she's bouncing on her back legs, but she soon settles in with the walk and realizes that she can't pull anymore. Another item that Cesar focuses on is "calm". Walk as if you are the Queen and emit a "presence". This in turn calms the dog....and I must say it works! If I walk proud, so does Sophie. If I pull, rant and rave at her, the walk is horrible. It may sound silly, but if it works...great!
I used the cesar milan method also with my chachi who pulled for a long time. now I can just walk him regular and he doesnt pull
