A harness is great but it's not going to solve your problem. Time to sign up for puppy school! We have taken many classes and in Canine Good Citizen we are working on not lunging at other dogs. It's a complicated process to explain, but it's easy to work on, especially if there are a lot of dogs around. Basically it involved you conditioning him to look at YOU for a treat when he sees a dog. I've also taught Loki not to pull on leash - he can even walk on a loose leash with just a collar (just for class - NO correcting leash-pops though, our trainer doesn't do that) It's hard to demonstrate your dog doesn't pull if you have a no-pull harness on him, so we use collars in the advanced classes. Anyway, I don't like the traditionally harnesses, so we use an "Easy Walk" by premier. I really like it. The pet stores all carry them for about $20. That helps too by not choking your dog until he learns not to pull! Oh, and a good recall helps too. Again, time for school! |
