It is frustrating at first because you may go for an hour walk and make it across the street. But pretty quickly they learn that if they want to go anywhere they can't pull.
I had originally tried the turning and walking in the other direction thing but I just ended up dizzy and I didn't feel like we were accomplishing anything. |
Max walks perfectly on his own. But if I walk him and Cooper together they are both wild. I thought Max would be ready to walk nicely with Cooper, but Cooper doesn't ever walk nicely. I'll have to get them under better control separately before putting them together.
I feel like I've done everything to prevent Coop Dog from pulling. Figure 8s, changing directions, standing like a tree, etc. I'll keep trying.
