I tried one of Victora Stillwell's techniques last fall, trying to get Sophie to quit pulling on the leash when we went for a walk. She said to turn the other way each time the dog pulls, throwing them off guard. Repitition is the key. I spent an hour outdoors, turning around constantly. Sophie was so frustrated and upset that I gave up. She just didn't "get it", and I felt so bad for her. I looked so easy on TV.
