Sophie pulls furiously for about the first 10 minutes of her walk, probably because she's so excited and happy to be outside, then she eventually settles down and walks beside. We, too, bought a vest-like harness for her, and we prefer it to the more common types of harnesses. It's easier to pick her up by the leash if she gets into some kind of trouble and it doesn't hurt her at all, especially when she pulls. I think the pulling will eventually stop, but it takes time and patience to get them to understand and obey. Just keep trying. |
