Oh my goodness It's not THAT jerky for heavens sake, and it is what Pet Smart obedience training teaches. YOU have the say on what to do and not what to do , not the sweet little thing. If you are walking along and they want to stop to stick their nose in another dogs poop You only have time to react with a SLIGHT tug (as there will be one there anyway when they stop suddenly ) and you will then command leave it . It stops what they are doing and breaks that particular action and reinforces it with what is proper...to leave it. Worked for me and didn't take long.
