Let me ask you a couple of questions
How do you hold the lead; is your elbow tight against your body and does your arm stay steady?
cause I had this problem with Go-Go always led with her head and gagging, then she'd walk along and try to bite the lead....she was fighting the lead. I found that she didn't like the neck piece, so we had Karen make her a special one....very short, fitting just under her chin and very narrow....that didn't work so, we went to the very soft satin small braid.....and me changing my pace and starting off before her, also really pulling my elbow in towards my body and my upper arm and wrist angling back (that kept the neck piece in the right postion).....Me making those 2 adjustments made all the difference.
Karen is out of Oklahoma, she's the only person I'll get my leads from. She custom makes them according to your height and your dog.
