And.......We're Walkin' After a couple of weeks of strict daily training I finally have my 2 boys walking nicely on leads. Max is barking much less, if at all and neither is pulling as much as they used to. I couldn't be happier and the walks are so enjoyable now.
With that being said, we went to the park on Saturday and it was disastrous! Too many people, too much commotion, other dogs, a new place. It was just too much for them to handle I suppose. I was armed with treats, clickers and even a metal can full of coins (in case of major issues). Neither of them walked nicely and Max barked most of the time (although I was somewhat able to control it). I used all my new techniques and nothing really worked.
So my question is: How do you transfer your home training to a new location? They are only walking well in our neighborhood where we train. I can't imagine having to train them in every new location we go to.
