I washed her paws and held up a paper towel to stop the bleeding. Was at a meetup and didn't have quick stop. She bled for quite a while. Actually I'm surprised i didn't take her to the vet. Now that I think back, I should have.
Then I invested in a Flexi retractable leash, the extra long one. Gives her more freedom and she doesn't pull anymore on it. On a regular leash she still pulls. That is what works for us. Usually, like 90 percent of the time you don't want to put a puller on a retractable leash. It's just rewarding their pulling by getting farther, which is what they want. But, for us it worked i beleive bc she thinks she is not on a lead, and when she is off lead she heels like a champ. go figure.
You need to train him to stop pulling. When he starts to pull make him sit. he will soon realize if he pulls you will not allow him to go anywhere. This method didn't really work for us bc Uni will sit, but be barking screechingly loud while doing it. So while she is doing what I asked, she is doing something else that is undesired. Can't let myslef tell her "good girl".
