getting better my dog used to pull constantly but I've been trying Cesar's techniques that I see on Dog Whisperer.. basically I don't start the walk until my dog is calm and laying by my feet. I never let him walk through the door first (in or out) and try to keep my own attitude positive. whenever I'm frustrated or angry, my dog never behaves. it's really hard to stay calm when your dog is acting up but patience is the key!! Oh, also, when rewarding, never let your dog take the treat out of your hand. you must lower it to their face and let them smell it and follow it a bit before giving it to them. try to keep your dog sitting through this. always use gentle touches to control your dog and don't reward unless he's calm too!
